Shannon spent twelve years orbiting Lucas, her childhood friend and almost-love. She gave up an exchange program for him, waited through his coldness, and believed that one day he would finally choose her. Then Rachel appeared. Lucas gave Rachel the patience, attention, and tenderness Shannon had begged for since they were kids. When he finally offered Shannon the relationship she once wanted, it came too late. This time, Shannon chose herself. She reclaimed her exchange spot, left the country, built a life behind the camera, and learned that some goodbyes are not anger. They are freedom. Years later, when she meets Lucas again, will the boy she once loved still have a place in the woman she has become?
