Nothing prepares you for the moment someone chooses you... for all the wrong reasons.
Harriet thought she knew exactly what she wanted-
until the day she lost it.
Heartbroken and desperate for something real, she says yes to the one person she never expected-Kai.
To him, it's everything he's ever wanted.
To her, it's timing... convenience... maybe even opportunity.
But love built on uneven truths doesn't stay quiet for long.
Because while Harriet is trying to feel something she can write about, Kai is already living something he can't walk away from.
And when the truth finally slips out-
the one person who chose her without hesitation
might be the one she never gets back.
Because sometimes, the love you didn't take seriously...
is the one that never comes back twice.
