The Distance Between Us

He left without a goodbye.
I learned how to live without him.
Then he came back and looked at me like the past never let go."

Ari thought she'd survived losing Nick Rivera. Her best friend, her almost, her first love.
She built walls. She got sharp. She stopped waiting.

Now he's back across the street, older and familiar in all the ways that still hurt.
Every glance feels like a question.
Every touch is a mistake waiting to happen.

"Some distances aren't measured in miles
they're measured in everything you never stopped feeling."

A slow-burn, second-chance romance about unfinished goodbyes, first love that never really fades, and what happens when the person who broke your heart comes back to claim it again.
