◦•●◉✿They say young love is fleeting, but I know deep in my soul that ours is destined to defy the odds.✿◉●•◦

They say young love never lasts—but we were never typical.

Not me and Kyler Wiley.

Our love bloomed in the quiet serenity of a sleepy beach town, full of late-night laughter, shared dreams, and promises of forever. But the night my parents were brutally murdered, everything shattered. I was eighteen, haunted, and convinced it was my fault.

When the threats began—when anonymous notes turned to real danger and someone tried to run us off the road—I made a decision I thought would save him.

I lied.

I told him I didn’t love him.

And I disappeared without a trace, leaving behind the only boy who had ever truly seen me.

Four years later, I’m not that scared high school girl anymore. I’ve lived with the guilt of abandoning him, dreamed of his death night after night, and now… they’ve found me again. The same monsters who destroyed my family have returned—and this time, they’re after Kyler.

I won’t run. Not again.

When I return to our hometown, I see him on the very beach where everything began—and everything ended. His eyes are colder now. His smile doesn’t reach as far. And the pain I left behind still lingers in his gaze.

He doesn’t know the truth. How I broke both our hearts to save his life. How I’ve never stopped loving him. How every step I took without him felt like walking through ash.

But I’m not here to win him back.

I’m here to protect him—even if it destroys me.

Because love like ours doesn’t fade. It fights. And sometimes, it saves.
