Starr gave Omar the space he asked for.
She gave him silence when she wanted answers, patience when she wanted reassurance, and distance when every part of her wanted to hold on. Before his deployment, they promised that when he came home, they would finally talk - about the breakup, the love, the damage, and whether they still had a future.
But Omar came home and never came back to her.
Five years later, Starr has built a life around pretending she's over it. Nights out, sharp jokes, bad decisions, and her best friend Frey are enough to keep the past buried - until one chaotic night in New York puts Omar directly in her path again.
Now, with Frey falling for Omar's best friend Mateo and an upstate trip forcing everyone into the same space, Starr has to face the one person she never stopped trying to forget.
Because some promises don't break quietly.
And some people come back too late
