Hi, I'm Cleo Sydney.
And I don't believe in true love.
Not the kind people whisper about. Not the "when you know, you know" kind. Not the soulmates-written-in-the-stars kind.
God knows I tried.
I wanted it so badly it hurts. The once-in-a-lifetime connection, the kind of love that feels like coming home. But every time I thought I was close, something was off. A missing spark. A hesitation. A silence where certainty should have been.
And every time, the same thought echoed in my head:
"I don't think I will ever be loved the way I love."
Too much. Too deeply. Too sincerely.
That was the story I told myself.
Every single day.
Until the summer I turned fourteen.
That was the summer everything changed...
The summer I met Walker Hudson.
Will I ever be able to move on?
