The way they were
(Book)

He hasn't spoken her name in fourteen years. She keeps a journal hidden in the back of her closet and permits herself to write about him once a year-on the anniversary of the first and only time they made love. They promised to love one another forever, but tragedy tore them apart. Now, destiny may just bring them back together. At eighteen, Rourke Flannigan and Kate Redmond thought they'd spend the rest of their lives together-until a family tragedy tore them apart. Fourteen years have passed and they've both carved out separate lives hundreds of miles apart-hers as a wife and mother, his as a successful, driven businessman. But once a year, on the anniversary of the first and only time they made love, Rourke permits himself to read the annual investigative report detailing an ordinary day in Kate's life.
