Description：
Eli Navarro has followed Margot Ellery around since he was six years old and she talked him into fighting back against the kids who threw him in a mud pit. He grew up one floor down. He tested into her university on purpose. He spent three years with her and nobody's parents ever knew.
Then he proposed without warning, in front of a room full of people, and she was too exhausted to say anything but no.
A month later she's got a fractured leg, a dog he considers half his, and an ex who has somehow acquired her house key, her car, and her mother's enthusiastic endorsement.
He cooks. He drives her to work. Neither of them will say a word about what they are.
And in a department store, in front of his new girlfriend, Margot says something she absolutely cannot take back.
