From the halls of high school to the complexities of adulthood, Daeron's life has been a series of transformations. It began with Jessica-the playful, red-headed spark who turned his teenage world upside down and taught him how to feel. But as the years bled into decades, it was Claudia who stood in the wreckage of his growth to show him how to live.

This is more than a romance; it's an 18-year odyssey of first crushes, hard-learned lessons, and the discovery that the meaning of life isn't found-it's built.
