Glai and Rhi were once inseparable - bestfriends who are always by each other's side, sharing secrets, sleepovers, and a bond deeper than either of them understood at the time.

Until the day Rhi confessed her feelings.

Glai didn't know how to react. She wasn't ready, she was scared, and instead of asking for time or clarity, she ran. One panicked choice turned into silence. Silence became distance. Distance became ten years apart.

Now adults living completely different lives, their worlds collide again in a way neither expected - through Rhiana, Glai's bright, bold, four-year-old daughter who instantly forms a connection with Rhi. What starts as a small encounter becomes the bridge that guides Glai and Rhi back into each other's orbit.

Old emotions slip through cracks they both thought had healed.

Unspoken words rise to the surface.

And Rhi silently wonders if this reunion is a second chance or just a reminder of everything she once lost.

As they navigate awkward meetings, lingering tension, soft moments with Rhiana, and the gravity of a bond that never fully disappeared, Glai is forced to confront the truth she ran from:

She was never scared of Rhi's feelings.
She was scared of how deeply she felt them too.

This AU is a story of unfinished love, healing, and the slow rebuilding of two lives once intertwined and destined to meet again.
