1 part Complete Lena and Theo's friendship began in second grade, a bond that seemed unbreakable until the complexities of middle school forced their paths to diverge. After Theo confessed his feelings, Lena, unaware of her own growing affection for him, turned him down just before he unexpectedly moved to Italy. Years later, when Lena finds herself studying medicine in Italy, their paths cross again. But Theo is no longer the shy boy she knew-he's changed, and so has their connection.
As Lena grapples with her buried feelings for him, she faces the reality of his relationship with someone else. However, the pull of their past connection is hard to ignore, and Lena is forced to confront whether it's too late for them, or if second chances are possible. The story explores love, regret, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go, set against the backdrop of a life-altering journey through friendship, missed opportunities, and the complexity of growing up.
