Let me just say this upfront: I have zero plans to fall for Ian Kendrick. Not after my recent breakup. Not with all the embarrassing memories I’m sure he still has of me from when we were kids. And definitely not while we’re living a few feet apart because if it doesn’t work out, things will get super awkward. 
But Ian had to go and grow up into the kind of guy who builds things with his hands, dotes on his sweet grandma, and flashes that smile like it doesn’t make my knees weak. (It totally does.)

Because falling for him? That would be a disaster... right?
