   Summary

   Eight years ago an argument with his eldest sibling resulted in Colin walking away from his home.

   Now he is ready to return.

   Can the family he left behind forgive him? What secrets are hidden, and can he turn his BFF into the HEA he so longs for?

   The prologue and epilogues are written in traditional formats, other chapters are written as the conversations he needs to have to rebuild his life.
