"There's only so many times I can put my heart back together" "Why are you so sure I'll break it again?" 🖤🤍🖤 No one said university would be easy, but between assignments and relationships, it gets a little too messy. Nicole doesn't do feelings. She barely does friendships. Escaping a life of pain, she drowns herself in distractions. Party. Drink. Repeat. Always on the brink of losing herself. The only person she trusts is her best friend, Miguel. Miguel isn't the relationship type. He's never had a reason to be, and his reputation proves it. Until a kind-hearted waitress makes him question who he wants to be. Alice, dreaming of love like in the movies, falls face first on every try. She refuses to be fooled again, but no matter how hard she tries, her heart keeps tricking her. When she stumbles across someone whose first instinct isn't to judge her for her dreams, Nicole's warnings are in vain. They thought they could keep their walls until Andrew came crashing in. He didn't seek their acceptance, only an escape from his life. He was never meant to break them apart. But mistakes are easy to make.

When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Complete
