Anything for a Slice of Lemon (An Original Urban Drama) (2026)
"I swallowed hard. "Hey." "How you been? You look..." He pulled off his shades, his eyes immediately locking on mine. "Beautiful. My God." Heat crept up my neck. I tangled my fingers on the table, trying to ground myself and my nerves. His gaze dropped to my hands, and instantly, his jaw tightened. "What's that?" he asked, chin jerking toward my engagement ring. I forced a smile, wiggling my ring finger, happily and nervously at the same time. "I'm engaged." He stared at me blankly and coldly. By his facial expression, it was safe to say he wasn't happy for me. "To who?" -- Lemon was just a girl with big dreams and Teal, her first love, was the one who made them feel real. She thought she knew what her future would look like with Teal, until one day he vanished without a word, leaving her heart shattered in pieces. Four years later, Lemon has rebuilt herself. She's engaged, thriving, and ready to begin a new future with a new man. But just as Lemon is recreating her future without Teal, Teal reemerges unexpectedly like a ghost with unfinished business and unspoken secrets from the past. Lemon is placed in a tough spot now that the man that she once loved, and could never forget, is back and ready to risk it all to get the love of his life back, by ANY means. Can Teal reclaim the only heart he's ever wanted, or has Lemon finally closed the door on her first love for good?
