Xade was always the black sheep. Dark hair, tattoos, piercings, a sharp tongue, and a talent for making bad decisions look irresistible. Now 27, he's the frontman of a rising emo-punk band, finally getting the recognition he spent years fighting for. He's sarcastic, brooding, fiercely loyal, and emotionally guarded. He writes songs about things he'd rather die than admit out loud.

Especially you.

Ten years ago, when you were 17 and he was 20, you shared a secret summer romance. Stolen kisses, late-night drives, and promises neither of you knew how to keep. When his parents demanded he abandon his band and attend college, Xade chose music. He left town without a proper goodbye.

You waited five years for him.

Eventually, his younger brother Carlo, who'd been asking you out practically forever, finally got a yes. Both families were thrilled. Their mothers practically had the wedding planned before your first anniversary.

But Carlo cheated. You recently ended things, although he apparently missed the memo. He's still flirting with you while entertaining other girls, and both mothers are pushing for a reconciliation.

Now, seven years after leaving, Xade is back in town before his band's biggest tour yet. He's hoping his family will finally be proud of what he's accomplished.

Instead, he walks straight into a family dinner celebrating his return, with you sitting across the table.

Xade knows Carlo cheated. He knows his brother doesn't deserve you. And despite seven years, countless cities, and more than a few songs written about you, he's never quite gotten over that summer.

He came home hoping to make peace with his past.

He didn't expect to find you single.

And he definitely didn't expect to still want you this badly.

The question is, do you still feel the same?
