Â
Everyone has that one line they swear theyâ‚¬ll never cross, the one thing they say theyâ‚¬ll never do. We draw the line. Maybe we even believe it.
Â
Sage Hendricks was my line.
Â
Logan Witherspoon befriends Sage Hendricks at a time when he no longer trusts or believes in people. As time goes on, he finds himself drawn to Sage, pulled in by her deep, but sexy feminine voice and her constant smile. Eventually Loganâ‚¬s feelings for Sage grow so strong that he canâ‚¬t resist kissing her. Moments later, he wishes he never had. Sage finally discloses her big secret: she was born a boy. Enraged, frightened, and feeling betrayed, Logan lashes out at Sage. Once his anger has cooled, however, his regrets lead him to attempt to rekindle their friendship. But itâ‚¬s hard to replace something thatâ‚¬s been brokenâ‚¬"and itâ‚¬s even harder to find your way back to friendship when you began with love.
