Caleb and Hanna have been through everything—secrets, betrayals, even near-death experiences. But as they head toward graduation, a new challenge looms: distance. Hanna has her heart set on New York, chasing fashion and a future that feels light-years away from Rosewood. Caleb, always the survivor, has no real plan. College was never part of his vision, and the idea of following her without knowing what he wants for himself feels like losing a part of who he is.

At first, they promise to make it work. Video calls, visits, the whole long-distance deal. But time stretches between them, and as Hanna thrives in her new world, Caleb starts to feel like an afterthought—like a piece of her past instead of her future.

Then he meets them.

It starts small. Caleb notices a kid,a teenager, struggling—homeless, couch-surfing, And because Caleb knows what that’s like, he steps in. Gives them a meal. Helps them find a place to crash. And somehow, in the middle of trying to fix their life, he doesn’t notice how much they’ve changed his.

They remind him of who he was before Rosewood. Before he got caught up in secrets and dangerous mysteries. They need him, but not in a way that drains him. Not in a way that makes him feel like he has to be someone he isn’t.

Hanna, busy with her new life, doesn’t notice how much he’s changed. Or maybe she does, but neither of them wants to say it. And when she finally comes home for a visit, Caleb has to face the truth: Is he still holding onto their relationship out of love, or just because it’s all he’s ever known?

And if he’s already halfway in love with someone else—not with romantic fireworks, but with quiet, steady loyalty—does that mean his love story with Hanna was already over before either of them admitted it?
