Some doors close, and some hearts quietly wait. Three years ago, Ethan shattered Mia’s hope with seven words and a look over his shoulder—leaving her invisible, heartbroken, and determined never to look back. But when he returns, desperate for a second chance, Mia faces the man she once would’ve done anything for—and finds her heart doesn’t race the way it used to. As Ethan tries to rewrite their past, Mia’s longtime friend Caleb steps out from the shadows, revealing a love that’s been patient, steady, and right in front of her all along. When old wounds clash with new beginnings, Mia must choose: chase the what-ifs of yesterday, or finally step into a future where she’s truly seen? Can she trust in a love that’s always waited, or will old heartbreak pull her back into the past?
