Three years ago, Damien Moretti broke y/n’s heart. He told her his family was moving across the country, and that long distance would never work. So y/n let him go, even though it broke her, and she still loved him deep down. What she never knew was that he left for a completely different reason. Now Damien is back in California—and he still loves her. Only the girl he remembers is gone. Y/n used to be bright, playful, and impossible to keep quiet. Now she’s distant, withdrawn, and trapped in a relationship that has slowly convinced her she isn't worth much. Damien knows he has no right to ask for her back. So when y/n offers him friendship, he takes it. He'll respect her boundaries. He'll give her time. He'll earn her trust one day at a time. But three years of loving someone doesn't disappear just because you're told to let them go. And Damien never stopped loving her.
