❝I'm not Emily, Matt.❝

❝I know that. And I don't want you to be. I want you to be you-because somehow, that's exactly who I can't stop thinking about.❝

(❤️‍🩹) 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁, a sculpture major, always believed in soulmates-until he lost his 𝗳𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗲, 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆, two years ago.

Emily was the girl he planned to spend 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 with. Since then, he's kept his heart locked away. Matt tried to drown himself in college assignments, but as an artist, he had lost his only 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

So he tried to drown anything that numbs the ache of loving and losing. He tells himself he's fine. That some people only get one great love in a lifetime. That moving on isn't an option.

A 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 major. She's stubborn, opinionated, and makes it very clear she has no intention of 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴 his broken heart.

But somehow, in between sharp words and stolen moments, Matt finds himself drawn to her in a way he never expected. Haley doesn't make him forget his past-𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁. She doesn't tell him to move on-𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀.

And just when he starts to believe in love again, 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘆'𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿. Suddenly, Matt is faced with a choice: 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
