English project, yet so much chemistry

Harper never expected losing Jaden to hurt quite as much as it did.

They hadn't broken up because they stopped loving each other. If anything, that was the problem. They had simply met at the wrong time-when life was messy, feelings were complicated, and loving each other wasn't enough to make everything work.

So they let each other go.

But Harper never really recovered the way she pretended to. Behind closed doors, the heartbreak left her struggling, slowly pulling away from the version of herself she used to recognise. By the time she started putting the pieces of herself back together, months had passed, and she had finally convinced herself that Jaden was part of her past.

Then their English teacher paired them together for a project.

Forced back into each other's lives, Harper and Jaden begin to remember why they fell in love in the first place. A shared laugh becomes a conversation. Conversations become late nights. And somewhere between old memories and new moments, Harper starts to realise that maybe their timing has finally changed.

But love can be terrifying when you remember how badly it hurt before.

Jaden may be ready to find his way back to Harper, but Harper isn't sure she can survive losing herself again.

Because sometimes the right person can still feel like the biggest risk.
