"Hi."
"Hi."
It used to be enough. A simple greeting whispered in the hallways of Truham, shared over text, or spoken softly into the quiet of the night. But university changes things. Miles turn into canyons, schedules clash, and love - no matter how fierce, pure, and golden - begins to stretch under the crushing weight of distance.
When the strain leads to a devastating, guilt-ridden mistake, the foundation Nick and Charlie built shatters completely. In the wreckage of a broken heart, desperate choices are made, old ghosts return, and the path back to each other feels entirely lost.
Can a love that was meant to be survive the messy, painful realities of growing up? Or do some hearts break too deeply to ever be held the same way again?
