Remi Moretti has always kept her heart at a careful distance. Letting someone matter means risking too much, and in the quiet town of Copperridge, Tennessee, she has learned how to stay steady.
Then Zane Carter arrives and everything feels off in the best way. He feels familiar. His presence stirs something just out of reach. What begins as simple connection deepens into something that feels lived in, like a story already written.
As moments blur and pieces of the past surface without explanation, Remi is forced to question what she knows, what she remembers, and whether she is brave enough to let someone truly matter.
Because some loves are not new.
They are remembered.

-Takes pictures instead of making eye contact
-Avoids feelings unless they corner her
-Missing pieces, sharp wit, tender heart
-Falling in love was not part of the plan

-Fixes problems he didn’t cause
-Says very little, notices absolutely everything
-Protector by instinct, softie by accident
-Somehow always exactly where Remi needs him to be

-Walks into houses unannounced
-Cannot stand boys named Eli
- Says what everyone else is thinking...but louder
-Would burn the world down for her people (and then bring snacks)

-Knows everyone’s business before they do
-Loyal to a fault and allergic to bad decisions
-Will fight her parents, the universe, or both
-Tough shell. Marshmallow heart.
