For almost two years, Y/N convinced herself that love was supposed to feel exhausting. She forgave more than she should have, accepted less than she deserved, and spent far too long believing that if she loved Jake Lawson enough, eventually he’d choose her the way she chose him. He never did. So she walked away. Months later, she’s happier than she ever thought possible with Wesley Hayes—a man who proves that love isn’t supposed to leave you questioning your worth. Then one crowded party forces her past and present into the same room. Jake expected heartbreak. He expected anger. He never expected indifference. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t watching someone move on. It’s realizing they already have.
