'Trying my best to bridge all the distances that I created.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leiah has always known that everything she runs from and all that she's left behind will eventually catch up to her but she still refuses to face the problems she ran away from.
But a lot of things in life cannot be controlled and not everything can be dealt with on our own terms. Leiah soon realises that all she has been running from for five years is catching up to her and she's forced to come to terms with her feelings in the form of Erik, her best friend, her forever, the biggest thing she'd left behind, whose hazel eyes still preoccupied her mind.
Slowly but surely all the distances she created will be bridged.

But as fate pulls her between love and heartbreak, she can't shake the question that still haunts her, 'Was I ever really a choice?' "No one shielded me from the storm the way you did, Ronnie. But now you're leaving me alone with nothing to cover myself." His whole world revolved around her, his only best friend, the one person he thought he knew better than anyone else. He understood her every laugh, every whisper, every unspoken thought...but never the secret she had kept so carefully hidden from him, just as his own heart held truths he hadn't fully understood. Bounded by a promise and terrified of the truth buried deep inside that he refuses to acknowledge, he's forced to choose someone else and leave his Aurie alone in the storm. Will he ever be able to win her back, even after the choices he's made? The two promises that tore his life apart- the one that he still upholds and the other that he failed to keep- whisper words of desolation in his ear: 'I promise to keep you happy, I promise to... marry you' and 'I promise, my baby strawberry, if I'm ever lost, I'll always find my way back to you.' We often think the heart and the brain are at odds, but in their tale, we get to know that hearts themselves are their own fiercest contradictors - stubborn, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.

Despite having everything she could possibly need, all she ever longed for was her parents' approval.

Desperate to be seen and valued, she spent her life trying to please everyone around her, giving endlessly until she had nothing left to give. By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home.
