Kira Tate was fifteen when she met him-Vincent Tazlyn, the boy with a voice like sin and a future too big for her world. He was a moment. A memory. A wound she learned to carry.
He walked away without looking back. And she told herself it meant nothing. That forgetting would come with time.
But fate isn't kind. And time doesn't heal what was never allowed to end.
Now he's here-no longer the boy she once loved, but a man shaped by fame, regret, and the silence between them. A man who got everything... except her.
And this time, he's the one who can't look away.
The one unraveling. The one who stayed too long in the dark to know what light feels like anymore.
But Kira isn't his to ruin again.
She's built her life on ashes. She knows better than to mistake longing for love. Because love isn't always enough. Sometimes, it's a war between what we feel and what we can have. And sometimes, no matter how much two people want each other, the ending still isn't happy.

This is not a perfect love story.
It's heartbreak and longing, the ache of what could've been.
And for anyone who has loved, lost, and wondered what if-this is for you.
