Years after walking away from the one who once knew him best, Auren Solven discovers a sealed box of unsent letters—each addressed to the one he left behind. The words inside are raw, aching, and unfinished. As Auren reads through each letter, he’s drawn back to the coastal town where their love first lived—and to a quiet reckoning he never allowed himself to feel. As Auren rewrites old letters, confronts unspoken truths, and imagines a reply that may never come, he begins to understand that some love stories aren’t meant to be rekindled—they’re meant to be remembered.

Auren Solven thought they had buried the past. But when dreams lead them to a forgotten bookstore and a mysterious antique mirror, they step into a world shaped by one decision they never made.

As cracks begin to show, Auren must ask: Is this the life I was meant to live—or just a haunting echo of regret? As timelines blur and old wounds resurface, Auren must face the version of themselves they tried to forget.
