𝕊𝕟𝕠𝕨𝕗𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖❄️:𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐗𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐜

Three years ago, Hazel Miller's world fell apart.
Her parents' marriage crumbled in front of her, arguments echoing through the walls until the only place she felt safe was in the warmth of her best friend Malachi Barton's home. They were inseparable-two kids clinging to each other through the chaos no one else understood.

But when the divorce forced Hazel to move away with her dad, everything snapped.
Goodbyes were whispered through tears, sealed only by matching snowflake necklaces and promises they swore they would never break.

Time, however, has a way of pulling people apart.
One missed text became two.
Two became forever.
And the boy who once knew every piece of her slowly became a memory she tried not to think about.

Now, three years later, Hazel is returning home for Christmas-older, guarded, and still wearing the necklace she never took off. She's prepared to face old streets, old wounds, and a past she isn't sure she's ready to relive.

What she isn't prepared for...
is Malachi.
The boy she left behind.
The boy she never forgot.
The boy who still carries his snowflake necklace too.

And this Christmas, fate might just give them a second chance.
