36 parts Complete When Emma Carrington first met Alex Grayson in the bustling heart of New York City, she thought he was everything she wasn't looking for. He was restless, impulsive, and far too charming for his own good. But as they crossed paths over coffee shop counters and rainy park benches, their magnetic connection slowly drew them together, even as Emma fought to keep her distance. For someone like her-wounded and cautious after a painful past-falling in love wasn't an option.
Yet love found her anyway, relentless and unyielding, until Emma could no longer deny it. She and Alex were fire and gasoline, made for fleeting passion, not permanence. Just as she finally lets herself surrender to the fragile hope of a future together, Alex receives a life-altering offer halfway across the world, one he can't refuse but that could destroy them.
With oceans and years stretching between them, Emma and Alex make a pact: to live their separate lives and meet again in five years, when everything will finally be right for them. But when those years pass, they discover that fate has other plans, and the choices they've made have forever reshaped the people they've become.
In the end, they are forced to confront a devastating question: Will the love they fought so hard to preserve be enough to bring them back together? Or have they been living for an ending that was never meant to be?
