I saved $3,000 to buy a night with my best friend. And a lot of good it did me. Someone outbid the crap out of me, and he’s off with her, probably falling in love because I dumped his butt into the friend zone one too many times. Well, I’m not one to sulk over past mistakes. I’m all about correcting those babies, and I’ll do anything—including chucking basketballs at an innocent girl’s face—to get Alec back in my arms. That’s what Valentine’s Day is all about, right?

Love? Sure, I believe in it. I've even experienced it. Once. Harper Richards - the girl who got away. Or rather, the one I let go. It should go without saying that it wasn't by choice. A guy like me, doesn't dare to dream of getting a girl like Harper even once, he sure as sh*t doesn't let her go on a whim. Nor does he ever think for a moment he'll get a second chance with her. Even if he wants one.
