After seven years together, Iris Quill and Julian Rothwell were finally ready to walk down the aisle, but on the eve of their wedding, a long forgotten promise they had made as teenagers suddenly threw their plans into chaos. Iris kept understanding, forgiving, and waiting, until disappointment finally outweighed love and she realized it was time to let go of the past. She chose Adrian Sterling instead, the man who had quietly stayed by her side for seven years, caring for her in all the little ways that truly mattered. With him, Iris began a brand new chapter of her life. The people of her past became nothing more than memories, and by the time Julian finally wanted to make amends, Iris had already moved too far forward to turn back. Years later, Iris uses her art to bring warmth to others and devotes herself to arts education for children, while Julian finds his own way to make up for his regrets by dedicating himself to helping communities in remote mountain regions.
