In a sprint, every millisecond counts.
When you’re waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons.High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends. He also has an older sister, five younger brothers and a father who relies on him to make sure those brothers don’t kill each other.
His saving grace? Lois “Laney” Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven.
A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage.It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love.
Eight life-changing seconds.
It’s also the exact length of time it took to lose her.
This kid is EVERYTHING!!! I love Lucas to bits and his note is ever reason why!

Dear Laney,
We met at eleven, and I’ve loved you every day since. At sixteen, I realized I was in love with you. At eighteen, I finally realized what to do with that love. Now, at twenty-one, that love means everything. Every day that passes, I continue to love you hard, love you fierce, and hopefully, love you right. You teach me something new every second I’m with you, about myself and the world around us. And every night, I thank fate for bringing you to me. For allowing me to hold you until we pass out, for keeping you safe in my arms.
I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life learning from and with you, Laney. I hope we never stop learning.
Valentine’s Day only lasts twenty-four hours. 1440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. But my love for you will last for all of eternity,
because
your love, your love,
completes me.
Lucas Preston.
