Two years. It’s been two years since you last saw him—Alex.

His name still echoes in your mind like a song you can’t forget. Those dark brown eyes, rich and intense like melted chocolate. Abs sculpted like he was born to make hearts race. Veins running down his arms like he could break the world if he wanted. And that smile—God, that smile. It could bring armies to their knees.

You and Alex used to talk, flirt, play that game only the two of you understood—the kind of banter that screamed I love you, even if neither of you had the guts to admit it. No one noticed the quiet intimacy between you. The lingering touches, the glances that held just a second too long, the nicknames only you two used.

He was sweet in ways most people never saw—but he was tough too. Like a book you couldn’t put down. One chapter mysterious, the next revealing everything.

But everything changed after that vacation in Croatia. After his parents divorced, he disappeared. Not physically, at first—but emotionally, completely. He turned into someone else, like the book had slammed shut and locked itself. He shut you out too.

Now, it’s your nephew’s birthday. And you know Alex is going to be there.

You step out of the car. And there he is—by the window, standing next to your aunt.

And just like that, it all comes rushing back
