Fast forward a couple of years later, Maggie is gone and Evan is still trying to figure out what went wrong.
Heartbroken and confused, Evan tries to move on knowing that the first girl he genuinely fell in love with is wandering around the world somewhere, not knowing he's still hung up on her. He doesn't know where she is and at one point, gave up trying to find out.
But just when he's finally decided to let go of the past did she somehow come back into his life, bringing back feelings and memories he's more than desperate to want to reclaim.
As always, when it comes to the two of them, things aren't always that easy. With a father who's constantly on the lookout to sabotage any chance for them to reunite as well as a past flame who's more than ready to reignite a fire so strong it would only inevitably tear them apart, the chances of them ever being together again is bound to be tarnished.
But Evan is persistent. So what if there were to be fire? Let there be fire.
For he will fight for the girl who burned his heart and left him in love and in ruins.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
