Sweet and Sour
Some loves are like tangerines-bright, beautiful, and impossible to forget. Sweet in memory, sour in the way they ended.
Years after a heartbreaking misunderstanding tore them apart, Jennifer and Leon unexpectedly reunite-this time as coworkers at one of the top fashion companies in Chicago. She's a rising designer with a guarded heart. He's the head of her department, still carrying the weight of what they lost. Neither expected to see the other again, let alone face old wounds in the middle of office elevators and late-night rides.
But the past has a way of lingering... in favorite colors, in awkward stares, and in shared love for tangerines. As forgotten truths resurface, Jennifer and Leon are forced to confront not just what happened-but what could still be.
A bittersweet second-chance romance full of unspoken feelings, missed chances, and the kind of love that never really goes away.
