A fated love that must face the test of time.

From a young age Lilly-Anne and Jasper were inseparable.

At 19, Lilly-Anne desires to explore the worlds wonders. Relentless adventure fuels her heart and mind. 

At 21, Jasper wants stability. He craves what he lacked in his upbringing. A constant yearning that drives him towards what feels like an unattainable goal - comfort and love.

 Lilly-Anne has become a well-travelled young woman and is visiting a pen pal she kept from one of her adventures, accompanied by her best friend Margaret. Their first night of being treated with a lavishness that the young women are not accustomed to. They go out for dinner and Lilly-Anne hears a voice that touches memories buried deep in the archives of her mind.

Five years have passed, and they haven't spoken since their conversation before Lilly-Anne departed from their hometown in pursuit of sights unseen.

When fate brings Lilly-Anne and Jasper together again for the first time, does he yearn for a different past? Does she lament the loss of their friendship? Most crucially, what lies ahead for them after this unexpected reunion?
