When you build a road from one place to another, it won't
always be a straight line. Sometimes you have to add curves to move around the
obstacles. Life is like that as well. Sometimes we have a straight path of what
we want in life and we do everything we can to follow that path until suddenly
a mountain appears and we have to veer off course to get around it. Even though
we face those curves, it doesn't mean we won't end up on the same path we
started. Then again, sometimes we discover roads that we never knew existed and
that will get us to where we want to be.
Derrick Collins lives in Nashville TN with his six year old
daughter, Katelyn. Derrick found love once before in a girl named Mary Jane,
until she moved away to Florida to fulfill her dreams of becoming an engineer.
Derrick's life hasn't been the same since Mary Jane left two years ago. His
days are spent working long hours in order to give his daughter a good life.
His social life is non-existent these days and he's decided it's time for a
change. Derrick sets out to find his happily ever after once and for all.
Mary Jane Evans' life took a different path than she ever
dreamed. She moved to Florida for an intern program at Disney. She left her
life in Nashville that included childhood friends, family, and the first man
she ever loved, Derrick Collins. Now it's time to decide if she will move back
to that life or stay in the new one she has created for herself. Will Derrick
still be waiting for her? What if she's been gone too long and he no longer
cares?
Can these two find their paths back to each other or were
there too many Curves in the Road?
Excerpt from Mary Jane's POV
The day I
received a letter offering me an internship into the Imagineering program with
Disney was supposed to be the best day of my life; I had worked hard for this
opportunity. Instead, it was one of the best and worst days of my life. I was
excited at the prospect given to me. The problem was that it meant two years in
Florida away from my first actual boyfriend.
It's true that
having a boyfriend isn’t the most important thing in life, but it sure is nice.
I loved my time with Derrick; I didn’t need him to make me happy, I wanted it.
Derrick made me feel happier than I could ever recall feeling. He could make me
laugh when I felt discouraged. He's the only man that told me I was beautiful
and made me believe it. He was perfect in every way like Mary Poppins in a man.
Wow, that's not that sexy I guess, but if Derrick's one thing for sure, it's
sexy.
When I told
Derrick about the internship, he fought for us to stay together, and that meant
the world to me. We tried to figure out a long distance arrangement; it was
difficult considering he has a daughter that comes first. Nothing else could
make me give up Derrick, except for the best interest of his daughter Katelyn,
who I loved as though she were my own.
So, Angel and I
loaded up our cars and moved our life to Orlando, Florida leaving behind our
friends who'd become family and quite possibly the love of my life.
