Years separate them with distance and silence growing between them as they navigate their separate lives. Fate eventually brings them back together after a tragic loss they both share. As they face this reunion, Savannah wonders if their friendship can be repaired or if the love they once shared in Rome can become something more. Will this encounter reveal a chance to rekindle their bond, or will it be their last goodbye?
