I went to pick up my brother from the airport but forgot my glasses.
Squinting through the crowd, I accidentally hugged the wrong guy—and even kissed him on the cheek.
It wasn't until I looked up and met those dark, brooding eyes that I realized my mistake.
It was my ex-boyfriend.
"Kissing me while calling another man's name? You’ve got some nerve."

I was picking up my brother, Noah, from LAX, and like an idiot, I left my glasses at home.
I stood at the arrivals gate, squinting at every blurry figure that walked out.
Finally, a tall guy—about 6'2"—in a black windbreaker walked toward me. I got excited and ran over.
I threw my arms around him and planted two big kisses on his cheek.
"Noah! How did you get even taller?"
Before I could pull away, a familiar voice called out from behind me.
"Sis! Did... did you just kiss our team captain?"
I froze.
Slowly, I looked up.
My ex-boyfriend's dark, intense eyes stared straight into mine.
"Kissing me while calling another man's name? You’ve got some nerve, Mia."
