Jensen, the guy who ghosted Serena for a whole decade, waltzes back into her life. Childhood friends turned lovers, they're like a Spotify playlist of memories—nostalgic, but with a twist. Fast-forward to the 4th of July, where they're chilling with Jensen's military bros. And let me tell you, Jensen's mind? Filthy. Like, "fan-yourself-with-a-book" levels of dirty. 🔥 But it's not all steamy glances and stolen kisses. The found family vibes hit different—they're like the Instagram filter that makes everything cozy and warm. Sweet moments? Oh, they're there. Am I blushing like a tomato? Guilty as charged. But lurking beneath it all is the shadow of PTSD. Real talk: active military and veterans carry more baggage than an overpacked suitcase. And then—the grand finale—the last chapters. Brace yourself, because it's like watching your favorite show end with a cliffhanger. The epilogue? A heartbreaker. I legit cried myself to sleep. 😭 Now, the title? Perfect fit. Not all love stories get a happily ever after. Sometimes, they're just a "someday" that never quite arrives.
