❝How much can you fade away under the dominance of another person over your heart?❞ - Hitherto.


When Sapphire enters Hitherto Café she encounters her first love-the boy who left her life in ruins when he fled town after high-school without so much as a word goodbye. One glance of Keith's haunted blue eyes tells her he's finally ready to talk. As for her? She no longer cares enough to listen. At least that's what she tells herself.  

Besides, Sapphire has enough on her plate. Her best friend Diana is barely holding up, desperate, Sapphire pushes her issues with Keith aside and teams up with Diana's potential interest, Matt. Together, she and Matt struggle to keep Diana from slipping into depression. 

When Sapphire blows off steam by kissing another guy during a random house party, Keith falls apart. With this evidence that Keith's feelings for her are genuine, Sapphire has to choose now:

Give Keith another chance and risk losing all the progress she's made in getting over him or finally let go of the only boy she's ever truly loved.

"I can consider your request," he finally replied, causing her face to light up with hope. The weight of her desperation seemed to lift momentarily, replaced by a glimmer of possibility. But then, Kabir paused, making her heart sink. "On one condition," he added, his voice low and serious. The room suddenly felt suffocating, as if the air had been sucked out, leaving only tension and uncertainty. "Finish what we started the other day." His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken desires and unfinished business. Kiara furrowed her brows, confusion evident on her face. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Her mind raced, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their shared history. Kabir leaned in closer, whispering into her ear. "Spend the night here," he said, his words sending a shockwave through her body. Her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to digest what she was hearing. The room seemed to spin, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. She had never expected this twist in their complicated relationship. Then she remembered a few months ago, during a moment of vulnerability, they had shared a passionate kiss. It had been a fleeting moment, a stolen connection that had left her breathless and yearning for more. She had come to Kabir to mend things between him and her best friend, Maya, but now he was suggesting something completely unexpected. Her mind raced, torn between the fear of crossing boundaries and the intoxicating allure of the unknown. Should she give in to her desires, risking everything she held dear? Or should she walk away, preserving the fragile equilibrium of their lives? story will updated every week
