Y/N returns to her rural hometown years after leaving because of her parents’ separation, expecting everything—and everyone—to have changed.

Children cling to him, elderly neighbors call for him whenever they need help, and he still smiles like sunlight itself. She thought he’d forgotten her. He thought she’d outgrown him. But some people never really leave your heart—no matter how many years pass.
