She died before he ever understood her. Juliana Fields spent twenty years loving Grant Clayton in silence—her childhood protector, her quiet husband, the man who never learned to return what she offered. When she quietly chooses to leave him one last gift—helping plan his new wedding—she's carrying a secret that will break everything. A hospital call, a missed promise, and Juliana is gone before Grant finally feels the weight of what he lost. Then time splits. Grant wakes up inside his teenage body with every memory of the life he wasted—and a single, burning mission: stop the death he ignored, fix every past mistake, make the coward he once was into the man she deserved. But fate keeps moving: rivals, small-town cruelties, family pressure, and the same knot of fear that made Juliana hide her pain stand between them. This is a race against a past that has already run its course. He has knowledge, urgency, and guilt; she has fragile hope and a stubborn refusal to be saved. Can he rewrite the ending without destroying the person he loved into something new?
