Now home for summer break, Cindy learns that Derek has also returned-this time as a single father. Determined not to stir up the past, she vows to avoid him altogether. But fate has other plans. When they inevitably cross paths, long-buried emotions resurface-hurt, betrayal, and unanswered questions.
Derek is desperate to understand what went wrong between them finally. As old wounds reopen, secrets begin to unravel, and healing slowly begins.
As a renewed connection blossoms, Cindy is faced with a heart-wrenching choice: should she risk everything to explore the feelings rekindling between them, or protect herself from the pain that once broke her heart?
