📌 Author's Note:
Hi, dear readers! Before you start this story, I just want to give a quick trigger warning. This story deals with trauma, abuse, anxiety, and memory loss, which may be distressing for some readers. If you are sensitive to these topics, please proceed with caution. Your mental health matters! 💖


She remembers him-his smile, his laughter, the warmth of his presence from their childhood summers. But when they meet again in senior high, he looks at her like she's just another stranger.

She tells herself it's fine. After all, she has changed-a girl now haunted by insecurities, fear, and gaps in her memory that she doesn't understand. Yet, the more time she spends with him, the more pieces of her past begin to unravel.

What she doesn't know is that he never really forgot her. He just didn't recognize the girl standing before him-the girl who once smiled so brightly, now carrying a sadness he couldn't quite name.

A story of love, trauma, and healing-because sometimes, the ones we used to know become Familiar Strangers.
