When her best friend Adriana leaves for an art residency abroad, Daniela agrees reluctantly to keep Adriana's girlfriend, Megan, company for the summer.
What starts as an awkward favor quickly becomes something else. Between late-night talks, clumsy adventures, and quiet moments that feel heavier than words, Daniela begins to see Megan differently not as Adriana's girlfriend, but as someone who feels like home.
Megan, still healing from Adriana's absence, finds comfort in Daniela's warmth and honesty. But when comfort turns into something deeper, and realize they're standing on dangerous ground torn between what feels right and what the world might never understand.
Their connection changes everything until life, timing, and choices pull them apart in ways neither of them were ready for.
"The Summer Promise" is a tender, slow-burning story about first love, loss, and the kind of heartbreak that never really leaves you the kind that turns into art, memory, and the courage to keep living.
Is cheating always meant to be physical?
What if he emotionally betrays you?
But what do you call it when your husband shares his dreams, emotions, victories, and time with another woman...
slowly forgets that you even exist?
