Her heart is burdened to fight for her marriage, but a part of her wants more; added passion, a sense of belongingness, a greater connection.
When she met Dexter, she felt these and more. Her life no longer seemed dead and unexciting. She performed better at work, and was better motivated to work harder than she already had been. This new relationship is anything but good, but Chloe longs for it, it's all she could think about. Though, allowing her to grow personally, it has stressed her marriage, and her husband can only bear so much. Would their marriage stand the test of time? Is she willing to throw four years away with whom she thought was her soulmate or follow her heart?

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. πππππππ/πππππππ ππππππ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reservedComplete
