First loves don't always last, but they always leave something behind.
William and Est had something fragile, unspoken, and intense but it ended in silence, leaving only regret behind. Now, years later, fate throws them back together.
A student, William and his temporary swimming coach, Est.
The pool, once just a place to train, becomes a mirror. It reflects more than their strokes and splashes; it reflects all they've lost, all they've changed, and all they're still too afraid to admit they want.
Can they face the past without letting it define their future or will their second chance slip through their fingers just like the first?
