Rebecca has spent years convincing herself that her feelings for Nate belong in the past. He’s married now. Settled. Safe from the chaos of what they once were… or almost were. But when a family gathering forces them back into the same room, old emotions resurface with a vengeance. One smile, one lingering look, one familiar warmth—and suddenly Rebecca is standing at the edge of a story she promised herself she’d never reopen. With Mary, the whirlwind best friend who sees through every denial, pushing her toward honesty, Rebecca is left to face the truth she’s run from for years: Some connections don’t fade. They wait. Now Rebecca must decide whether the past is a place to leave behind… or a feeling she’s finally ready to confront.
