You noticed him long before you ever knew his name. Every Friday night, you’d walk into the same bar with your friends, settle into the same booth, and eventually catch the same pair of eyes watching you from across the room. Rafe. At first, he was just the mysterious guy who stared too much. Then one unforgettable night changed everything. What starts as a chance encounter slowly becomes late-night conversations, inside jokes, stolen glances, and eventually something neither of you expected—a relationship that feels impossible to walk away from. Until you do. The breakup is ugly. The kind that leaves both of you convinced that staying apart is the only way to stop hurting each other. So you try. You date other people. You pretend you’re happy. You convince your friends—and yourselves—that you’re finally moving on. Except Rafe keeps showing up. And so do you. Because no matter how many times you say goodbye, somehow you always end up back in the same place, looking at each other across the same bar like nothing ever ended. Maybe you’re meant to be together. Or maybe you’re just addicted to the cycle of losing each other and finding each other again. Either way, you’re both about to learn that some people are a lot harder to forget than they are to leave.
