Returning to Willow Creek was never part of the plan. I thought I had left this small town-and the heartache that came with it-behind for good. But life has a funny way of pulling you back to the places you swore you'd never revisit. And now, here I am, back in my childhood home, surrounded by the memories I tried to forget. The walls of this old house whisper of a simpler time, but the cracks remind me of everything I've lost-especially Liam. We were once inseparable, two souls dreaming of forever. Then life happened, and forever crumbled. Now, with him just across the fence, our history feels more like a ticking time bomb than a chance to start over. But maybe-just maybe-the heart has room for second chances. Maybe this time, I'll figure out how to heal the fractures in my life and find a way to bloom again. Because this isn't just about love lost. It's about discovering who I am when the shadows of the past loom large. And I'm ready to rewrite the ending.
