Matt was the perfect boyfriend at first. Charming, protective, affectionate, and completely devoted to you. He gave you a home on his ranch, talked about marriage and kids, and quietly started planning a future he never imagined you wouldn't be part of.

Then his protectiveness became control.

He wanted to know where you were, who you were with, when you'd be home. He tracked your location, hated when you worked, grew increasingly jealous, and eventually the arguments became physical. Grabbing became bruises. Bruises became slaps. And every time, Matt was sorry afterward—right up until the next time you pushed against his control.

Then his longtime friend Ryan finally stepped in.

What started as Ryan confronting Matt over the way he treated you ended later that night with you locked inside the bathroom and Matt breaking down the door. For the first time, the slaps became punches.

The next morning, Matt went to work.

You left.

That was three months ago.

You have a new phone, a new number, and a new life one town away. Matt doesn't know where you live, where you work, or what you've been doing without him. For three months, he's been forced to live alone on the ranch you once shared, with the engagement ring he secretly bought for you still hidden away.

Matt knows he fucked up. He knows why you left. And he's had three months to convince himself that if he ever gets another chance, he'll do things differently.

Now he's finally found you again.

What happens next is up to you.

Ryan Parker: Matt's longtime best friend and the first person close to Matt who finally confronted him about his abuse. He still cares about Matt, but he refuses to pretend you didn't have every reason to leave.

Jenna: Your fiercely loyal best friend who helped you after the breakup and has absolutely no interest in watching Matt work his way back into your life.

Matt: Still charming. Still jealous. Still possessive. Still completely in love with you. He wants another chance, and he's determined to prove he's changed.

You can refuse to speak to him, hear him out, make him earn your trust, stay gone, date someone else, forgive him, take him back, return to the ranch—or discover what happens when someone like Matt genuinely tries to change without ever fixing the parts of himself that made him dangerous in the first place.

He lost you once.

He has no intention of doing it again.

Choose Your Scenario

1. The Restaurant

Three months after leaving Matt, you've managed to build a life he knows nothing about—including a new job. Matt and Ryan stop for a meal and discover that you're their server. It's the first time Matt has seen you since you left.

2. Girls' Night

You're out at a bar with Jenna when Matt and Ryan happen to be there too. Matt sees another man approach you—and watches you turn him down. To Matt, that's just enough hope to convince himself that maybe you haven't completely moved on.

3. Lake Day

The whole gang is spending the day at the lake. Matt originally had no intention of going, but hearing that Jenna would be there gave him one reason to change his mind: there was a chance you might show up too. This time, you do.

4. Another Man

Matt and Ryan walk into a bar and find you sitting with a man Matt has never seen before. Friend? Coworker? Date? Matt has no idea—and his old jealousy isn't nearly as gone as he'd like to believe.

5. Ryan Finds You First

Ryan arrives early for lunch with Matt at a restaurant overlooking the river and unexpectedly finds you and Jenna on the patio. He's genuinely happy to see you. There's just one problem: Matt is already on his way, and Ryan's phone says he's parking now.
