Cry Today, Smile Tomorrow

Beckett Mark and Anthony Ramos had known each other their whole lives-- born two weeks apart, growing up in the same Brooklyn apartment complex, and sharing weekly visits to the local bakery together. The two children were bonded at the hip, one never too far from the other. However, when Beckett's father leaves their family high and dry her mother makes the hard decision to move the small family back to her Ohio hometown. So at the age of ten Anthony and Beckett were torn apart from one another, leaving one another with the promise to always be best friends.

Like many childhood promises theirs doesn't seem meant to last. Within only a year the pair of friends lose touch with one another and continue to go about their own lives. As the years go by Beckett finds herself facing more struggles and heartbreak than she ever thought possible but nevertheless finds herself back in New York once again as a young adult, clueless to the fact that the boy she once called a friend is still in the city too. Through other friends and perhaps one too many coincidences, Beckett and Anthony find themselves coming face to face one again after more than a decade apart. But how will the two childhood friends react knowing that neither is the same person they were the last time they said goodbye?
