Ethan Blackwood died a foolish death, shielding Elara Vance, a woman who treated his devotion with callous indifference. He returned, not with gratitude, but with a chilling emptiness in her eyes. Now, given a second chance at eighteen, Ethan finds himself face-to-face with the ghost of his past obsession. He vowed never to succumb to her allure again, to finally prioritize his own happiness. But the universe, it seems, has a cruel sense of humor. He isn’t the only one haunted by yesterday. The walls of time are falling apart, bringing back every single person who hurt him. Every single mistake he made will resurface. Was not to love him but be his own. When old wounds reopen and forgotten faces resurface, Ethan must confront not just Elara, but the entire tapestry of pain woven into his past – a neglectful mother, an envious sister, a treacherous friend, and the woman who shattered his heart. Will Ethan have the strength to stick to his vow of loving himself or give in to the echoes of yesterday's wounds?
