----------
When Cal Jones walked out of Emilia's life, he took her heart with him. After everything they went through together, Emilia finds it impossible to move on. She goes through the motions, she learns to once again smile, but she knows that the need for her questions to be answered will forever haunt her.
Why did he leave her behind? Will the longing she feels for him ever go away?
Emilia doesn't believe anything can hurt as badly as Cal's betrayal. Unfortunately, she finds out just how painful life can continue to be.
Maybe her story was never meant to have a happily ever after. Or could it be that she just needs to start a new story?
