Once, Then Again | Macklin Celebrini

Mila and Macklin had the kind of university connection that felt effortless-long walks, secret glances, and the kind of chemistry that made it hard not to fall. But when Macklin was drafted to the NHL and moved to San Jose, distance-and dreams-pulled them apart.

What happens when two people who never got closure suddenly cross paths again?
