Where We Left Off

Six years ago, Dawson Shepard disappeared from Maggie Albright's life without a word.

Now he's back.

Maggie has spent years building walls strong enough to keep everyone out. Between her parents' constant fighting, the pressure of volleyball, and secrets she refuses to let anyone see, surviving each day already takes everything she has. The last thing she needs is the boy who broke her heart acting like they can pick up right where they left off.

But Dawson remembers the girl Maggie used to be, the one who laughed easily, trusted completely, and never pushed him away. And the more time he spends around her, the more he realizes something isn't right.

When Dawson reconnects with their old friends Tate and Courtney, the four of them begin circling each other again after years of silence. Tate is quick to welcome Dawson back, while Courtney quietly notices the things Maggie tries so hard to hide.

Maggie insists she's fine.

Dawson, Tate, and Courtney aren't so sure.

As old memories resurface and long-buried truths begin to unravel, Maggie is forced to confront the one thing she's spent years avoiding: letting someone see the parts of her she's worked the hardest to hide.

Because sometimes survival means learning you don't have to do it alone.

And sometimes the hardest place to return to... is where you left off.
