Afterglow

<p>I met Ava when we were teenagers. She was hanging from a cliff and I rescued her. We were young naïve and fused instantly. She was mine from that moment on. We secretly snuck around every day for a whole summer. Then she was gone never seeing her again for twenty years. I never moved on no matter how much I convinced myself that I had. Years later we collided literally and looking into her eyes unleashed the old memories. I lost her once I sure as hell wasn't going to lose her again.</p><p>A fresh start? Yes please!</p><p>When fate brought us full-circle memories flooded as our eyes locked once more. I had lost her before refused to lose her again.</p><p>Seeking a fresh start I never expected my past to collide with me - But in returning to Vilamor I found Nick waiting too. We were carefree youths then with bright futures and innocent love. As adults we couldn't avoid each other and I soon yearned to reconnect. Accepting his sudden proposal felt too real too soon the façade overwhelming me.</p><p>Can a long-dormant love truly blossom once more?</p><p>An emotional second-chance romance portraying grief personal growth and the transformative power of rekindled connections - ultimately leading to a satisfying happily-ever-after.</p>
