He was her safe place. Until he became her reason to run. Mateo and Lucia grew up as neighbors, best friends, and everything in between-inseparable since childhood.

And Lucia goes from being loved... to being ignored, humiliated, and emotionally crushed by the boy who once protected her. So she leaves. No explanations. No goodbyes. Just scars and a new identity. Years later, Lucia returns-harder, colder, and nothing like the girl Mateo broke. She doesn't need him. She doesn't miss him. And she definitely doesn't forgive him. But Mateo finally wants the truth. The problem? Lucia no longer wants him. Because some people don't get closure. They get consequences.
