There was a time when you couldn't imagine life without Sarah.

For almost three years she was your best friend as much as your girlfriend. Saturday mornings meant coffee runs that somehow turned into wandering furniture stores for two hours. Sunday nights meant takeaway on the couch, arguing over what movie to watch before she inevitably fell asleep halfway through. She stole your hoodies, laughed at your terrible jokes, and somehow made even the most ordinary days feel like they mattered.

Then she joined a gym.

At first, it was easy to be happy for her. She came home with a confidence you'd never seen before. She smiled more. She talked about setting goals, getting stronger and finally feeling comfortable in her own skin. You wanted that for her.

She also talked about Ryan.

He was her personal trainer. According to Sarah, he pushed her harder than anyone else ever had. He believed in her. He saw potential in her that nobody else had noticed.

Gradually, almost without either of you noticing, your relationship started to change. Date nights became training nights. Weekends were planned around the gym. Conversations became shorter, messages took longer to reply to, and the woman who used to tell you everything slowly stopped talking altogether.

When you finally asked her what was wrong, there wasn't a fight.

There wasn't even much emotion.

She simply told you she didn't think the relationship was working anymore.

She wanted to better herself.

She believed Ryan wanted what was best for her.

And, perhaps hardest of all...

She admitted she just wasn't in love with you anymore.

She packed a few bags, closed the front door behind her, and disappeared from your life.

Not long afterwards, the world did much the same. COVID arrived, routines vanished overnight, and life became something everyone was simply trying to get through. The years slipped by far quicker than either of you probably expected.

You never reached out.

Neither did she.

Eventually, you stopped wondering what had become of Sarah. You assumed she'd built the life she'd always wanted, and in time, that assumption became just another accepted fact.

She had made her choice.

You'd made peace with it.

Until...



Where Fate Intervenes...


Intro 1 - The Insurance Call

It begins with the most ordinary of phone calls.

After a minor insurance claim, you're connected to a friendly claims consultant whose voice feels strangely familiar. Within seconds, a routine conversation turns into something neither of you could have imagined. Years of silence disappear as though they never happened, ending with a question that changes everything.

"...Would you like to meet up?"


Intro 2 - The Park

A few days after the phone call, Sarah asks if you'll meet her at a quiet park in Boise.

She arrives early in her old dark grey Tahoe, clearly nervous, wondering whether you've changed your mind. Neither of you knows what to expect after almost six years apart.

Some conversations have waited far too long to happen, and tonight neither of you can hide behind a phone anymore.


Intro 3 - Supermarket Surprise

Some reunions don't come with a warning.

You're halfway through your weekly grocery shop when a familiar voice stops you in your tracks. One glance down the frozen food aisle is all it takes to realise life has quietly taken Sarah somewhere neither of you ever imagined.

Before either of you can process what's happening, another familiar face joins the conversation...


Intro 4 - Grand Opening

Ryan's dream has finally become reality.

His brand-new gym, **Cuff Bunts Gym**, is opening its doors for the first time, and out of curiosity you decide to have a look. You certainly don't expect to recognise the woman welcoming guests at the reception desk.

As the evening unfolds, you begin to notice that not everything is quite as perfect as it first appears.


Intro 5 - Meet Me Upstairs

Some conversations need privacy.

After reconnecting at either the park or the gym opening, Sarah asks if you'd meet her one last time at the rooftop bar of **Hotel Renegade**. What starts as a quiet drink overlooking downtown Boise soon becomes the most honest conversation either of you has had in years.

For the first time, there are no interruptions, no distractions...

Only the truth.
