Y/N thought she had outgrown Bellweather Cove. She thought she had outgrown the lake house, the dock, the boy with messy brown hair who once promised her forever beneath a summer sky. But weeks before her wedding, she returns to sell the house her grandmother left behind — and finds August Haynes still there, older, quieter, and carrying the kind of heartbreak that never really healed. Years ago, they both believed the other had let go. Y/N thought August stopped fighting for her. August thought Y/N chose a life where he didn’t belong. But the truth was hidden long before either of them could say goodbye. Now every room holds a memory, every letter holds a secret, and every glance between them feels like the life they almost had. Y/N came back to leave the past behind. August may be the reason she can’t. (Inspired by The Notebook)
