The Family We Left Behind
They were sixteen and seventeen when they became parents. Too young to know what forever meant, but in love enough to promise it anyway. Preston Scott was once {y/n}’s husband, her first love, and the man she thought she’d grow old with. Together, they raised their son, Samuel, and tried to build a life.

Now, one year after their divorce, Preston has a new girlfriend, {y/n} is trying to move forward, and their fourteen-year-old son is absolutely NOT having it. Samuel sees the way his parents still look at each other. He notices the jealousy, the lingering tension, and all the things they refuse to say. And he’s determined to fix what they broke—even if it means scheming, lying, and forcing his stubborn parents into situations neither of them wants to be in. There’s just one problem: Preston’s new girlfriend isn’t nearly as sweet as she pretends to be, and Preston isn’t sure he can survive getting his heart broken by {y/n} twice. They say you can’t go home again. But what happens when home is the person you never truly stopped loving?
