Kennedy finally makes the decision to move to Midvale, a small suburb of Salt Lake City, eager to escape what was supposed to be her perfect life with her high school sweetheart-Nolan-but that all changed when she found out he was cheating on her with her best friend-Cali-for all but two years of their ten year relationship.
Crushed with heartbreak and betrayal she is hoping that running away from it all will be exactly what she needs until she meets her neighbor-Austin-and instantly hit it off, but he's plagued with his own share of heartbreak, betrayal and also a sweet innocent one year old that he is co-parenting with his ex-fiancee who broke his heart but refuses to leave.
Riddled with their own fears they find themselves in a wave of wanting each other but pushing each other away, too afraid to submerge themselves into something so soon, but while they're struggling with trying to protect themselves they might also be pushing each other away. Can they both overcome their past and open their hearts to each other or will their past be doomed to repeat itself?

Circles - Post Malone
She is well and truly fucked. He looks better, way better than he did in high school. In high school he was delicious but now he is just scrumptious. Dahlia can't move. She knows if she tries - her knees will buckle. Fuck how does he look even better with age? Shit. He has cut his hair although it is still an unruly mass of curls on the top of his head. His jaw has a serious amount of hair on it making him look mature but not old. He is also covered in tattoos, from what she can see, they cover him head to toe. Face and neck tattoos often look like overkill, but on Austin they just work. They add to his presence rather than take away from it. But then again she is inlove with him so she may be a tiny bit biased. Austin is looking directly at her with a slightly furrowed brow. Does he recognize her? Did Gina tell him she was coming? She is sure Gina said she had. "Dahlia, come here," Gina says walking over to Dahlia and grabbing her elbow then tugging her toward Austin. "Picking up strays already, Gina?" Austin asks when they get to him. "Oh Austin, you can be so silly sometimes," Gina hits his chest softly and he grabs her hand, holding it to his chest while he continues to stare at Dahlia. "This is Dahlia. Remember? From school..." Gina explains. Dahlia just stands in front of Austin like an idiot as he looks her up and down. "Dahlia...isn't that a stripper name?" Austin asks.Complete

Neither of them are toxic people to be fair, both were raised by good families with good morals and too much love. It had just been their timing - it was off, they found each other at the worst possible time. It's a lesson well learned. Her lesson was simple - men can go fuck themselves, especially Austin, and Austin's lesson? Find a woman and marry the fuck out of her - the bastard. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lux has vowed to never cross paths with her ex, Austin, again. Life, however, likes fucking with her.Complete
