Mila and Macklin had the kind of university connection that felt effortless-long walks, secret glances, and the kind of chemistry that made it hard not to fall. But when Macklin was drafted to the NHL and moved to San Jose, distance-and dreams-pulled them apart. Now, two years later, Mila's in San Jose for a fresh start of her own. She isn't expecting to run into Macklin-especially not on a quiet afternoon when he's off the ice, hoodie up, still the same but not quite. What happens when two people who never got closure suddenly cross paths again?

The meeting twice theory, if someone is destined to be in your life, you'll meet them twice. It's the universe's way of giving you a second chance. for this story i am using zaleawrites first part of the story and continuing it so u get the full story of what happened after the boat. obviously it wont be the same but i got my inspiration from her and its gunna be a little bit the same so i hope u like it ENJOY!!:)

They grew up hating each other. Macklin's popularity turned him into someone Sloane grew to despise. He turned from being her safe space to someone she feared. Fast forward 10 years, and Macklin is in deep trouble. After his breakup goes public, rumours begin to spread that he is a shitty boyfriend. In an effort to clear his name to the press, he decides the best way to do so is to get into a fake relationship. While working a small catering gig, Sloane runs into someone she hoped to never see again. Growing up in the higher middle class had never stopped Sloane from staying shy and quiet. Mixing with the wrong crowds and making dumb decisions led to her parents cutting her off. When desperate times call for desperate measures, Sloane accepts a deal that changes her life forever. Will Macklin be able to save her?

Sloane Laurent is the face of fashion. Having just been named Model of the Year, she was on a high in her career. Nothing was stopping her. She has campaigns, photoshoots, galas, and runways lined up and is set to maintain her reign at the topic of the global fashion market. One day, at a gala with her brand, Maison Céleste, she catches the eye of the NFL Golden Boy, Weston Carter. Weston is the face of the league, having led the Manhattan Sentinels to a near-perfect record during his rookie season. The quarterback was set to do it again during his second season too. Both of them were winning in their careers, but the wins on the field were not enough for Weston Carter. For Sloane Laurent, her career was all she needed; she led and enjoyed a private life. Therefore, when Weston starts to make his moves on her, she immediately shuts him down, just like she does any other man. Still, his efforts stay prevalent, especially because he ends up doing fashion collaborations with her. By the time Sloane shuts him down, the media has taken their chemistry and run with it, labeling them as the next big couple and drawing tons of unneeded attention on them... in large part, thanks to a jealous ex. Sloane finds her career being threatened, all because of jealousy, and she must learn to lean on someone, which she has never done before. She was independent, but when she nearly loses her career because of a smear campaign, she finds that maybe she does need someone to lean on. And Weston Carter seems to be that very person.

"Because I don't want to make it harder for her. Because I don't want to be the thing that complicates her life. Because I know what it's like to carry something quietly and not know where to put it. So I settle. I settle with distance. With silence. With pretending that the absence of her name in my mouth means the absence of her in my head. Because it's my brothers girlfriend of a few years."

They were focused on their futures-not falling for each other. Gabi Johnson has one rule: don't get attached. She's a psychology major with a passion for music, a sharp tongue, and a past she's worked hard to outrun. Love? Not part of the plan. Especially not with Will Smith-the cocky, charming NHL rookie who somehow gets under her skin in every possible way. Will lives for the rush of the game and the next big win. He doesn't have time for distractions, including Gabi, the stubborn girl who challenges him at every turn and constantly bickers with him at every chance she gets. What starts as harmless bickering slowly turns into something harder to ignore. They're both chasing dreams, both terrified of slowing down but maybe some things are worth pausing for and when Gabi's past begins to catch up, she'll have to decide whether to keep running... Or let someone run beside her.
