Haunted by the boy who ghosted him, will their high-school reunion be Jake’s chance to say goodbye to the fiery redhead he loved so fiercely, or can they write a new story?
Jake
Being a military brat meant we moved around a lot. By some miracle, we stayed in one place for all of high school, meaning that I had four whole years with Cooper. Four years of friendship, falling in love, fumbling firsts, and making plans for our future.
But then Cooper disappeared. MySpace Top-Eight one day and a ghost town the next. I may have moved on, but a small part...

Jake
Being a military brat meant we moved around a lot. By some miracle, we stayed in one place for all of high school, meaning that I had four whole years with Cooper. Four years of friendship, falling in love, fumbling firsts, and making plans for our future.
But then Cooper disappeared. MySpace Top-Eight one day and a ghost town the next. I may have moved on, but a small part of me remained with him at Gomillion High.
Our twenty-year reunion feels like the last chance I’ll have to see Cooper Dalton, whether for closure or to see if our bond is magical enough to make even the non-existent real.
Cooper
I didn’t mean to ghost Jake, but one family tragedy after another left me unable to spend another minute in the place where we met, fell in love, and looked forward to growing up together.
While I’ve achieved my dream of becoming a vet, opening a practice of my own, and finding the friends who’ve become my family, I still ache for the boy whose heart I broke along with my own.
Returning to Gomillion fifteen years after last setting foot in it, and laying eyes on my first love has me tripping—literally. Will Jake forgive me, or is the magic truly gone?
