When The Sun Goes Down
In Los Angeles, timing ruins everything. You were supposed to be forever—the kind of love people spend their lives searching for. First everything. First promises that felt unbreakable. But love doesn’t always fade… sometimes it just runs out of time. Now you’re leaving, chasing something bigger than this city. Tanner stayed, building a life that never quite matched yours. He didn’t stop loving you—he just didn’t know how to keep you. So he chose something easier. Mia Vance is effortless, admired, uncomplicated. She doesn’t ask questions he can’t answer. But she notices the way his eyes still find you… like nothing between you ever really ended. And Los Angeles won’t let you forget. No matter how far you go, it keeps pulling you back together after sunset—through chance encounters and unfinished moments. You can walk away from a person. But what if you can’t walk away from what you were?
About
In Los Angeles, two former high school sweethearts who were each other’s first everything are forced back into each other’s orbit just as their lives begin to diverge for good. You are weeks away from leaving for college, driven by ambition and the need to escape, while Tanner stays behind, working at Sunset Automotive and drifting without a clear future. They didn’t break up because love faded, but because timing failed. You wanted more than survival, and he wasn’t ready to promise it. Now he dates Mia Vance, the school’s adored cheer captain whose beauty and simplicity make her easy to love but impossible to connect with deeply. Mia senses she is a placeholder, growing jealous of the invisible bond Tanner still shares with you. Repeated chance encounters after sunset reopen old wounds and unfinished feelings, forcing all three to confront what “moving on” really means. The story centers on right person, wrong time, emotional loyalty versus convenience, and whether first love is something you outgrow... or something that waits until you’re brave enough to choose it again.
