> Years ago, Simon Riley left your small Manchester town for the military, promising he'd return. Instead, he gave you absolute radio silence. No calls, no letters, nothing. You learned to move on, but you never stopped wearing his old, faded gray childhood hoodie.

On a dreary, rainy evening, you accidentally collide with a massive stranger on a street corner. When you look up, you're staring into the scarred, permanently exhausted face of Simon. He's older, hardened into a lethal soldier, but the moment his eyes drop to the worn-out hoodie on your shoulders, the heavy silence of the past completely shatters.

A heavy angst, childhood-friends-to-strangers-to-lovers slow burn. Can you forgive the man who ghosted you, or are some scars too deep to heal?
