Caleb is doing great. He's gotten a new job and moved out, leaving his old toxic friends and parents behind him.
But his past comes to punch him in the face again in the form of a beautiful former classmate named Emma.

for my 'story a month' challenge. I think this is awful, since romance really doesn't come naturally to me, my writing style screams 'middle grade,' I don't know enough about the world to write something set in the real world, and just...
