An emotional second-chance romance about the love we walk away from at twenty and spend the rest of our lives trying to outrun. Ten years after she left him standing in the rain, Mira steps off a train into the same city — and into the one face she swore she would never see again.
She had not expected the city to smell the same. Wet pavement, coffee, the faint metallic tang of the river — ten years gone, and her body knew it before she did.
He looked at her the way a man looks at a door he has been standing outside of for a very long time. "You came back," he said. It was not a question.
"I never stopped," she told him, and the rain, which had been politely waiting, began to fall.
