On my birthday, my boyfriend Nate and my best friend Olivia sat across from me, lost in a conversation I couldn't understand. They were brilliant, inseparable, and always in sync. I was the girl who spent seven years stumbling after them, changing majors, repeating exams, and shrinking myself just to stand beside Nate. Then a lab accident turned into a public scandal. Nate knew I was innocent, but he asked me to take the fall for Olivia because her future mattered more. That was the moment I stopped chasing him. I walked away from the plane ticket, the relationship, and the life I built around someone else's shadow. But clearing my name is only the beginning. As Nate finally realizes what he lost, can I become the woman I was meant to be before he drags me back?
