The First Look
CHAPTER 1: The First Look
Some people forget faces.
but Liam never forget her eyes.
Three summers ago, at a crowded school event, Tash bumped into a boy carrying too many books.
He steadied her with one hand, smiled softly, and scribbed his number on a napkin.
Liam
"In case you ever need help."
She kept that napkin for months.
[Present Day.Malibs street cafe]
Tash
Tash(thinking): Mira said he was back... but not here. Not today.
She steps toward the counter, trying to calm her heartbeat.
A voice she hasn't heard in years.
Liam
"Hi.... beautiful lady can I get you something?"
Tash freezes.
Slowly looks up.
His eyes widen instantly.
He knew her the second their eyes met.
Same warm hazel color.
Same softness he could never forget.
A quiet pause settles between them.
Heavy.
Familiar.
Their fingers brush when he hand her the cup.
A small spark.
Unavoidable.
And just like that... the past stepped back into her life.
Unfinished Words
CHAPTER 2: Unfinished Words.
If Tash had listened to Mira's warning ...
She wouldn't be sitting across from the boy she once loved.
A few minutes later.waiter passes by, placing cups on nearby tables.
Tash watches him just to avoid looking at Liam.
Mira
📲Did you see him? Don't panic
Mira
📲 I'm serious, Tash. Be careful.
Tash locks her phone quickly as Liam approaches.
Liam
"Is it okay if I sit?"
He sits, eyes soft, searching.
Liam
"I knew it was you... your eyes haven't changed."
Tash
"People change,Liam."
Liam
"Maybe, But something don't."
Another customer laughs loudly in the background, breaking the tension for a moment.
Liam leans forward slightly.
Liam
"Aria told me you were doing well...but I didn't believe her."
Tash
"Aria still talk to you?"
Liam
"Sometimes. She didn't tell me you'd be here."
Silence.
Heavy.
Unfinished.
And just like that... the past wasn't the only thing sitting at their table.
Mira's Warning
CHAPTER 3: Mira's Warning.
Mira warned her... but warning don't work on hearts that still remember.
Tash's phone buzzes again.
Mira
Tash answer me. Did he talk to you?
Mira
Don't let him pull you back in.
Tash locks her phone quickly as a waiter walks by placing napkins on their table.
Liam notices.
Liam
"Mira still looks out for you, huh?"
He smiles softly, but there's sadness behind it.
Liam
"I'm not here to hurt you."
Before she can respond, the cafe door opens.
A familiar figure steps in - Aria.
Elegant. Calm. Observant.
She spots them instantly.
Aria
"Oh... you two are talking."
Tash stiffens.
Liam sits up straighter.
A customer bumps into Aria accidentally, muttering an apology before hurrying off.
Aria ignores it, eyes locked on Tash.
Aria
"Mia told me you might be here."
Liam glances between them, tension rising.
Liam
"Aria... don't start."
Aria
"I'm not starting anything. I'm just making sure Tash is okay."
And suddenly, the past wasn't the only thing she had to face
