"What if the one who stayed... wasn't the one you were meant to keep?" Vince thought he had already figured out love: the butterflies, the closeness, the quiet comfort of a friendship that felt like more. Gian was the boy who made him feel seen-his greatest love, his constant. But when secrets are revealed and choices are made, Vince begins to realize that even the people who stay can still break your heart. Then Eivhon returns-his first love, the one who got away before they ever got the chance to begin. And suddenly, the heart Vince tried to rebuild is torn again-this time, between what was, what is, and what could be. Set in the emotional highs and lows of youth, The One Who Stayed Too Long is a bittersweet journey of love, timing, and the painful beauty of letting go. Who do you choose-your greatest love or your first love? And in the end... do you even get to choose at all?All Rights Reserved
