Overview

When my first love returned to our small town, I never expected my heart to be on the line once more...

When Owen, my childhood best friend, returned to town for the harvest festival, I couldn't believe my eyes. The boy who left without a word stood in front of me, and the feelings I thought I'd buried years ago came flooding back.

I couldn’t trust Owen to not break my heart a second time. But as we reconnected, the longing I still felt for him was impossible to ignore. He swore he never stopped loving me, and I wanted to believe our second chance could be different. If only he could prove he had truly changed.

Just as hope blossomed between us, the festival weekend drew to a close, and Owen prepared to leave town again. I faced a choice: risk my heart with him once more or spend a lifetime loving him from afar.

With Owen begging me to give us a try long-distance, I had to weigh my desire for him against my fears of being hurt again. He promised he'd spend the rest of his life making up for leaving me in our youth. As the moment of decision neared, I considered the possibilities of what we could build if I took that leap of faith. Owen may have returned for the festival, but could we build something that would last beyond the end of the weekend?
