Liahonna never believed in love at first sight-until she saw Josiah. Something about him pulled her in: the way he smiled, the quiet confidence, the warmth she felt just by looking at him from afar. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Josiah already belongs to someone else... and Liahonna doesn't know it yet.
Still, she finds herself drawn to him-watching, hoping, wondering.
What happens when the heart ties itself to someone it was never meant to hold?
Will Josiah ever notice the girl whose eyes always find him in a crowd? Or is Liahonna destined to stay in the background, admiring a love that was never hers to begin with?

INAYA'S POV
Before me, he sits. After 7 long years-7 years of absence, he shows up. Yet, when I study his eyes, I find nothing but unfamiliarity. His once warm, brown orbs are now veiled with darkness, devoid of any emotions, with a coldness that chills the air. His rosy pink pigmented lips, which once used to mold in a tender curve in my presence, now refuse to smile. Am I looking at the same person? How can his face be so familiar, yet his essence a mystery? Is he the same person-the Ishaan I once loved? The love that remained unspoken seven years ago, the love that refuses to fade? Is he truly the Ishaan Shekhawat that resides in my memories, or a specter of the past, wearing a guise of indifference over the soul I once knew?
