Hunting Yesterday's Promise

sixteen-year-old Corinne Scarlett Reyes thought she'd found her forever in fifteen-year-old boy Theo Hendrix Salvador. But life doesn't follow the same bell schedule as young hearts. By the spring of Cors' senior year, the pressures of college applications, hectic schedules, family expectations, and Theo's own doubts forced the two to part ways, each believing it was best for the other.

Now, two years later, Cors is navigating her second year of college: new classes, new friends, and a scholarship on the line. She's determined to focus on the path she worked so hard to secure. So when Theo reappears-older, steadier, resolute-her carefully rebuilt world trembles. He's changed, too: learned more about himself, grown past the boy who let timing win. But can their once-perfect bond survive the scars of a breakup neither expected? As Cors weighs forgiveness against self-preservation, Theo must prove that some promises aren't just for high school, but for every chapter of life. Will they turn the page on their past... or write a brand-new story together?
