Five years ago, Austin disappeared from Fiona's life without a goodbye.
Fiona never understood why, only that he was gone and she was left with unanswered questions and a broken heart.
Years later, they meet again.
Austin is not the boy she remembers, and Fiona is not the woman he once knew. She has built a life of her own, while he carries the weight of choices he refuses to explain.
Their reunion is distant and tense, filled with everything left unsaid.
But some feelings don't fade with time.
As Austin slowly reenters her life, they begin to rediscover what they lost-moments that came five years too late, quiet conversations, familiar places, and unexpected laughter. Fiona begins to wonder if this second chance might finally be different.
But Austin knows there are things she still cannot know.
And when the truth behind his disappearance comes out, Fiona must ask herself:
Can love survive what the past has taken from them?
Sometimes, people aren't given forever-only a little more time to love, forgive, and say what should have been said.
