Faded Ties | m. sturniolo

Lillia Carter never imagined that returning to Boston would mean reliving a past she thought was long forgotten. As a child, she spent her days with the Sturniolo triplets, but among the three, Matthew was always the most distant. When her family moved to another state, they lost touch, leaving behind childhood memories that slowly faded with time.

Years later, fate brings her back to the city where she grew up. An unexpected reunion with the Sturniolo triplets stirs emotions she doesn't quite understand-especially when she realizes that Matt, the quiet and reserved boy who barely looked at her, now watches her with an intensity that leaves her unguarded.

Between laughter, awkward silences, and moments that feel straight out of a movie, Lili faces a dilemma: Is it possible to reconnect with someone who was never really part of her life? And more importantly, what does it mean when her heart races every time Matt is near?

Bonds may fade with time, but some are meant to be found again.
