Chapter 1

Emily sat alone at a corner table in the cozy coffee shop, her fingers tracing the rim of her cup, lost in thought. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee surrounded her, mingling with the distant hum of conversation. It was a place filled with memories—memories of laughter, shared secrets, and stolen kisses.

She had come here hoping for solitude, a moment of respite from the demands of single motherhood. Her four-year-old daughter, Lily, was staying with her parents for the weekend, and Emily had craved a quiet moment to collect her thoughts. Little did she know that today, fate had other plans.

As Emily stared out the window at the rain-dappled street, a movement caught her eye. Her heart skipped a beat as a tall figure with tousled brown hair walked through the cafe’s entrance. It was a face she hadn’t seen in four long years, a face she thought she might never see again.

Daniel.

He hadn’t noticed her yet, his attention drawn to the menu board as he waited in line. Time seemed to stand still as Emily watched him, her emotions swirling in a storm of uncertainty, nostalgia, and a flicker of hope.

She had often wondered about him over the years, about the boy she had loved so deeply in high school. The boy who had promised her forever before life had torn them apart. What had he been up to? Had he ever thought of her? Did he remember their dreams?

As Daniel moved closer to the counter, Emily’s heart raced. Was this encounter in a busy city just a coincidence, or were their paths destined to cross today? But deep down, she knew that there was no such thing as coincidence.

Their story, once paused, was about to unfold again.

With a furrowed brow, Daniel approached the counter and scanned the menu, reminding Emily of their shared mornings at the coffee shop. His once-familiar face had matured, but the essence of the boy she had fallen in love with remained.

Her mind raced, and she tried to compose herself. Would he recognize her? Would he remember the way she used to order her coffee? A surge of emotions coursed through her as she prepared to speak his name, but the words froze on her lips.

Just as she summoned the courage to call out, the barista, a young woman with a friendly smile, greeted him with enthusiasm. Hey, Daniel! The usual today?

Daniel returned the smile, nodding. Yes, please.

Relief washed over Emily, giving her a moment to regain her composure. She observed him from her corner, trying to piece together the life he had led during their time apart. He looked successful, confident, and self-assured—the embodiment of the dreams they had once shared.

As he waited for his coffee, Daniel’s gaze roamed the coffee shop. It was a subtle motion, but Emily caught it. Her heart raced anew. She was about to confront a past she had tucked away, but the unspoken question remained: Did he want to see her again?

Their order numbers were called in quick succession, and Emily watched Daniel retrieve his coffee before turning to leave. Panic gripped her. What if he walked away

Without recognizing her? Without acknowledging the past they had shared?

Summoning every ounce of courage, she called out, Daniel?

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes scanning the room until they met hers. Recognition washed over his face, followed by surprise, and then something deeper—an
