Lordy, lordy, Ella is turning forty!
What can I say about birthdays. As a child you look forward to them but as an adult you seem to want ignore them completely.
I didn't mind turning forty, however forty-one was tough. I can say one thing for sure I'm a few month away from forty-two and I feel like I'm getting old. I'll be into my forties and that scares me. LOL!
If the saying is true you are only as old as you feel. Then someone needs to clue my body in that my brain still thinks I can party like I'm in my late twenties!
My twenty-fifth birthday comes to mind. After a full night of parting my boyfriend at the time dropped me off at my apartment. I forget my keys and my roommate wasn't home. So, He had to push me threw my bathroom window and I fell on my head. Needless to say I had a massive headache for days!

Plus, she can't forget the way Lance broke her heart all those years ago.
Lance never stopped loving Savannah. He wants a second chance, and he's willing to do anything it takes to convince her to give him one. Will she give in and let Lance love her, showing her a passion beyond anything she thought possible?
