Anja Serafin is stuck at being 17. After almost four years of full-time confinement at home due to the pandemic. Now that lockdown is no longer enforced in their community she is having trouble reconnecting and continuing her life outside the four corners of her comfort zone. 

Her last role she remembered was her being a twelfth grader applying for multiple university admissions. Without doubt, the world did not ever stop revolving, and her present-time return is supposedly about entering her fourth year in college.

Anja knew she couldn't just simply take up where she left off. When she feels like her clock has an obvious time jump from pre-pandemic to post-pandemic. She is still adjusting to what is in front of her and preparing for what is ahead of her. While also trying to understand what happened during the time her timeline appeared to skip.

She has to take steps to live her life, and the only allowable direction is moving forward. The first step for Anja to make things happen is acceptance. Truly easier said than done, as it will also get her tangled up in being a mother to a five-year-old boy.

❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch. ❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞ ~ Mariana Torres is the first in her family to go to college. Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to. She wants nothing but to make her family proud, even if it means pursuing something she's not interested in. Now heading off to UCLA on a full-ride with her best friend, she's finally getting the chance to get a strong education and become a successful doctor. But every perfect plan has bumps in the road, and this one just happens to be a beautiful one. Aiden Grey lives life like he's dying.

"In the silence of loss and the chaos of love, I learned that life isn't about where you begin- it's about how you choose to rise." ✨ New city. New dreams. A past she thought she'd left behind... Seraphina Vaughn has spent her life caught between love and loneliness, raised by a mother who never let her forget she was unwanted. But now, stepping into the bustling world of New York University, she's determined to build a future of her own. No more pain. No more expectations. Just her, her dream of becoming an architect, and the freedom she's craved for years. But fate has other plans. At the airport, she never expects to see him-Callum Hayes, her childhood crush and the boy who once ignored her last message. The same boy who's suddenly standing right in front of her, holding out the passport she dropped. And as if the universe isn't done playing with her life, they're headed to the same destination. "Sera Vaughn?" "Callum Hayes?" "You remember me?" "Do you remember me?" Old feelings, unresolved pasts, and a journey neither of them saw coming-Sera's new chapter is just beginning. And with it comes two questions she never thought she'd have to answer again: Can she open her heart when she's spent her whole life trying to protect it? And what if some people are never meant to stay in your life, no matter how much you want them to?
