Despite everything

'I forgave the world because it gave me you'

Harper Maisie is 29, working endless hospital shifts and drowning in her own thoughts. Grieving the boy she once loved - and the woman she used to be - she mastered pretending she's fine. Until one family gathering changes everything.

There, she meets Hunter - the boy she once comforted, now a man wrapped in mystery, money and scars that mirror her own. The buttons on his tailored suits are the same one she sewed on years ago, though she doesn't remember. He never forgot.

He drinks to forget. She breathes to survive.
He's lost in the dark. She lives inside it.

When their worlds collide again, it's not love at first sight - it's recognition. Two broken souls drawn together by something neither of them can name. But love, for them, isn't a cure. It's a mirror. It's chaos. It's the only thing keeping them alive - and the very thing that could destroy them.

Because love doesn't wait for perfect timing.
It just happens - despite everything.
