About

Guest spent years convincing herself they had finally moved on from Luke—the boy who once felt like destiny. He had been their closest friend, the center of their world, and the one person they loved more deeply than they ever dared admit. But loving him only left them with silence, distance, and a heart that never quite healed. Now, years later, Guest is trying to rebuild their life beyond this unrequited love. College, therapy, and the small circle of friends who stayed have helped them find a fragile kind of peace. The past is something they're determined to leave behind. Until James appears. Quiet, observant, and unexpectedly gentle, James seems to understand Guest in ways no one else ever has. Their connection seems to be destined, unfolding in chance encounters and quiet conversations that feel almost fated. But the past has a way of resurfacing. Luke, the boy they never stopped loving, suddenly finds himself confronted with the possibility of losing they to someone else. He starts to appear in ways he had stopped previously. Butting in as a way he would say is protecting Guest, but is more like imposing. One man represents the past she never resolved. The other could be the future she never expected. Guest must decide whether to keep holding onto what once was… or risk everything for what could be.
