Isabella never thought she would cross paths with Rivo again---the boy who once played the sweetest melodies of her past, only to leave them unfinished.

But when fate weaves their lives together once more, old symphonies resurface, and long-buried emotions demand to be heard. But Rivo is still the same-quiet, distant, and unreadable. He acts like the past never happened, like she was just another song that faded away. Yet, every glance, every unspoken word between them feels like a note left hanging in the air. Isabella tells herself she's moved on. But how can she, when every melody still leads back to him? 08/02/2024 12/30/2024
