Beyond the Mistake

What the hell just happened?

Whispers flood the university halls. Eyes follow her everywhere.

Mandy-the girl with quiet confidence, quick wit, and a natural charm that makes people notice her without effort. She may come from privilege, but she's never arrogant. She is part of the Black Panther, the campus band everyone knows, Mandy is admired for being real and grounded. She's not the type to chase campus princes or dream about fairytales. For her, love has always meant something different.

Then there's Dreid. The untouchable alpha-rich, magnetic, a natural on the court and the kind of man everyone else envies. His heart, though, was always spoken for. Everyone knew it belonged to his best friend, Shantal.

Until the night everything changed.

At the annual festival, Dreid drowns his heartbreak-eight bottles deep after losing the only girl he thought he'd ever love. Across campus, Mandy is fighting demons of her own, drinking far more than she can handle.

Two broken souls. One reckless night.

When dawn breaks, they wake in the same bed-memories blurred, questions unanswered, panic sharp in the silence between them. What happened? How did they end up here?

They make a pact: no strings, no expectations, just forget and move on.

But fate refuses to let them. Pulled together by chance, circumstance, and something neither wants to name, Mandy begins to see the man beneath Dreid's golden-boy image. And Dreid, against all odds, starts to feel again-something real, something impossible to ignore.

Because sometimes, the nights you can't remember...
become the love stories you'll never forget.
