Chapter 1
The first time he rejected her, it broke her heart.
Sophia had loved Daniel for as long as she could remember. They’d grown up together, their families close friends, and she’d always thought they were meant to be.
But when she confessed her feelings, he’d looked at her with pity in his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Sophia,” he said, his voice gentle but firm. “I don’t feel the same way.”
It was a blow she never fully recovered from.
