They did everything together; they had the same friends, same classes, same routines, and knew each other like the back of their hands. Everything seemed perfect until they parted ways in college. Liv going to Texas while Spencer stayed in California. They haven't seen each other since college, and many things have changed. What happens when Liv comes back to California to help her friend from college while she's sick?

They are now parents to four amazing children, three daughters and a son, who truly light up their world in ways they never could've imagined all those years ago when they first bonded over chromosomal DNA. The high school sweethearts feel inspired every day to support their family in the best ways they know how and be a guiding light for them as they help their kids navigate the highs and lows of moving away from the life they've built on the East Coast.

Bound by rules, loyalty, and the fear of tearing their world apart, they try to bury the spark. But every stolen glance and quiet moment draws them closer, until resisting becomes impossible. Now, caught between a love that feels fated and the consequences that could destroy everything they care about, Spencer and Olivia must decide how much they're willing to risk... and whether some hearts were meant to break the rules.
