What they had was just a flicker-and yet it burned.
It left a wound that callused, but never healed clean.
It still throbs-at dusk, when the wind shifts, when shadows gather like memories that never learned to leave.
In the quiet aisles of a 1942 library, fourteen-year-olds Lena and Carl Michael found each other-not through declarations, but through the shared language of books, glances, and silence. Their love was tender, unspoken, and lit by poetry, the scent of old parchment, and the soft rhythm of companionship. But just as it began to bloom, war and circumstance tore them apart.
Years passed. Lives were lived. New commitments, new families, the slow erosion of youth. And yet, something endured. Across oceans and decades, fate pulled them into a haunting pattern of near-encounters: a glimpse through a fogged train window, unopened letters returned by strangers, a quiet café missed by minutes. Again and again, they almost found each other. And almost is never enough.

"Theo. If I'm not mistaken? Isn't this yours?" He extended a hand, holding my penguin printed handkerchief. My eyes couldn't have gotten so wide. I quickly swiped it out of his grasp.
"Ah, t-thank you." I stuttered before walking away and out of the school, but before I did, I heard a deep chuckle behind me that I guessed was from Hunter.
***
Theodore Willshire, attractive, sassy, incredibly talented and extremely intelligent. His goal is to find love. But because of his sexual preference, it's not always easy. But he has his eye on one boy.
Hunter Fierro. I guess you could say he is... the cliche heartthrob of the school. He's known as the kindest, accepting and can literally make anyone fall in love with him if he wants.
How will the two of them meet? Easy! They just have to recall their past... Right?
As they blindly step foot into Sophomore Year. Theo will make unexpected friends, allies and enemies, maybe even meet the love of his life! What if one day, a mysterious being approaches him with an offer that seems normal at first but can change Theo's life?
