We were friends with benefits. Reed would stop by every time he was in Anchorage, and that was the extent of things, although I started to want more. Then he ended our arrangement, and I suspected there was another woman, but it wasn't until I overheard a conversation that I understood completely. He thought I was calling and texting because I couldn't take no for an answer. That wasn't my problem at all. Two blue lines were.

Now she's face to face with the only version she never prepared for- the man who doesn't remember loving her at all. As Seth searches for answers in a past he no longer understands, Jules is left with a choice: fight for a love he doesn't remember... or let him go before he breaks her all over again. Because sometimes, forgetting is easy. Remembering is what hurts.

Five years ago, Marco lost the woman he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. A week after being forced apart by her family, Camille married another man abroad-leaving Marco drowning in heartbreak, bitterness, and anger. In one reckless night, he found comfort in Ashley, the complete opposite of the woman he lost: loud where Camille was reserved, warm where Camille was distant, alive in ways that made him forget his pain for just a moment. The next morning, still shattered and drunk on grief, Marco asked Ashley to marry him. She said yes, well, eventually. What began as a marriage built from spite slowly became a life. A home. A family. Ashley gave him a son, gave up her career, and loved him with a devotion so quiet that Marco mistook it for permanence. But even after five years of marriage, part of him remained trapped in the past-haunted by the woman he never truly let go. Then Camille returns. Old feelings resurface. One mistake turns into an affair, and the fragile foundation of Marco and Ashley's marriage begins to collapse. When the truth finally comes out, Marco is forced to confront the cruelest realization of all: the woman he loved first was not the woman he could not bear to lose. Now, with his wife turning colder by the day and another man slowly stepping into the spaces he once took for granted, Marco must fight for the family he nearly destroyed-or risk losing Ashley forever. Because sometimes, love does not arrive at the beginning. Sometimes, it comes years too late. (The plots of my stories are originally mine, but I had help with AI in writing the prose.
