Spencer Hastings and Toby Cavanaugh have left Rosewood behind, ready to build a new life outside the shadows of their past. As college begins, they find themselves discovering each other all over again-through quiet routines, late-night talks, and the fragile rebuilding of trust.
But when an unexpected pregnancy turns into devastating loss, their relationship is tested in ways they never imagined. Caught between individual dreams and shared pain, Spencer and Toby must navigate the delicate balance between healing and growing apart.
Told in alternating perspectives, What Comes After Us is a slow-burning, emotionally rich story of two people learning that love isn't always about holding on tightly-it's about knowing when to fight, when to listen, and when to simply stay.
A story of grief, growth, and ultimately-hope.
