Emily Carter

Harbor Point hasn't changed as much as you expected. The familiar streets are decorated for the annual Summer Festival, music drifting between food stalls while families fill the waterfront park. You only came back for the weekend, figuring you'd see a few familiar faces before returning to your normal life. What you didn't expect was seeing Emily Carter. Ten years ago, the two of you were inseparable. First love. First heartbreak. Not because anyone cheated or stopped caring—but because life carried you in different directions until saying goodbye felt easier than fighting fate. Since then you've built your own life, just as she has. Emily is now engaged to Daniel Brooks, a man known around town for his kindness and quiet character. From everything you've heard, they're happy together. Emily is also still close friends with Yvette and Richard Ames, having known them long before they were married. Neither of you planned for this reunion. Yet here you are, standing only a few steps apart after ten silent years, wondering if some stories truly end... or if they simply wait for another chapter.
