He was everything. Until he wasn't.
In a city that never stops moving, Milo is learning how to stand still long enough to feel again. After a love that left deep bruises in the shape of promises, he's trying to rebuild-piece by painful piece. There are no clear villains, no clean breakups, just the tangled wreckage of what was once everything.
Now, with new people, new wounds, and the flicker of something like healing, Milo begins to discover who he is when no one else is writing his story for him.
But the past doesn't stay quiet for long.
As old flames resurface and dark shadows circle closer, Milo is forced to confront the question he's been running from:
What do you do when the person you used to love becomes a ghost that won't let go?
A story about first love, last chances, and the quiet, powerful kind of strength it takes to finally choose yourself.
