Not a Stranger, Not Yet Mine (Threads of Yesterday Series #1)

(Book2- continuation of Lia's story)

Not a Stranger, Not Yet Mine is a tender story about forgotten childhoods, almost-loves, and the ache of second chances.

Lia Gabrielle Santos never meant to forget Ivren - the boy who once made her laugh a little louder and feel a little less alone. He was her childhood best friend, her safe place, the one who always walked her home and teased her until her cheeks turned red but life moved, memories blurred, and Jace - her cousin's charming best friend quietly took up space in her heart.

Ivren left before he could confess how much she meant to him. He came back in high school, a little taller and quieter, carrying the same feelings but too afraid of Lia's father to speak up. All he could do was watch from afar - and hope.

Now, with their paths crossing again, and their hearts still carrying silent stories, Lia begins to remember. Not everything, not all at once but enough to wonder:

What if the boy she forgot... never stopped waiting?

A story of missed timing, unspoken love, and the kind of connection that never truly fades - this is for anyone who's ever looked at someone and thought, "You were never a stranger. You just weren't mine... yet."
