"Sometimes the right people meet twice... but are they ready the second time?"
Sierra Leigh Vergara never expected that a simple pen could change her life. One ordinary afternoon at her favorite café, a quiet, nerdy boy with messy hair and kind eyes borrowed her pen-and stole her attention in the most unexpected way.
Evan Cole Ramirez didn't say much, but his small gestures, teasing smiles, and gentle presence made her feel like the world was lighter whenever he was around. And yet, just when she thought their story was beginning, he left without a word-leaving behind only memories, a matcha latte, and the tiniest hope.
Two years later, Leigh still finds herself at that same café, clutching a pen that once sparked something unforgettable. Could fate really give them a second chance-or is some love meant to remain unfinished?
