I met Ava when we were teenagers. She was hanging from a cliff, and I rescued her. We were young, naïve, and fused instantly. She was mine from that moment on. We secretly snuck around every day for a whole summer. Then she was gone, never seeing her again for twenty years. I never moved on, no matter how much I convinced myself that I had. Years later we collided, literally, and looking into her eyes unleashed the old memories. I lost her once, I sure as hell wasn't going to lose her again. A fresh start? Yes, please! When fate brought us full-circle, memories flooded as our eyes locked once more. I had lost her before, refused to lose her again. Seeking a fresh start, I never expected my past to collide with me - But in returning to Vilamor, I found Nick waiting too. We were carefree youths then, with bright futures and innocent love. As adults we couldn't avoid each other, and I soon yearned to reconnect. Accepting his sudden proposal felt too real, too soon, the façade overwhelming me. Can a long-dormant love truly blossom once more? An emotional second-chance romance portraying grief, personal growth, and the transformative power of rekindled connections - ultimately leading to a satisfying happily-ever-after.
