Six months ago, Aria left Haverly without looking back. She thought leaving would make things easier. A new place, new people, and enough distance to forget the boy who had once meant everything to her. Kai was supposed to stay in the past. Then Aria comes back.
At first, Haverly feels almost exactly the same. The familiar streets. The old memories. The people she thought she'd left behind. And then she sees him. Kai isn't the boy she remembers. Neither is she. But some feelings don't disappear just because you leave.
Caught between the life she's built, the boy who refuses to give up on her, and someone new who makes letting go feel possible, Aria has to decide what she really wants. Because coming home was never supposed to mean falling for him all over again.
And this time, leaving might not be an option.
