Aidan broke her heart twice, leaving Demi to piece herself back together.

In the process, she learns that sometimes losing someone isn't the end of the story-it's the beginning of finding yourself. This is a poignant, emotional tale about the complexities of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of choosing yourself.
