Imagine finding yourself face-to-face with the person who once knew your soul better than anyone else-six years after your heart shattered into a thousand pieces. This is exactly what happens to Rio DeLuca when he spots Hallie Hart watching from the stands during his hockey game. The universe has a peculiar sense of humor, bringing together two people who once promised each other forever, now strangers connected by an unbreakable thread of shared history. Their love story began on adjacent rooftops under starlight, where twelve-year-old dreams were whispered into existence, and mixtapes carefully documented every milestone of their relationship. But what happens when fate forces you to confront not just the person who broke your heart, but the possibility that you never really understood why they left in the first place?
