My Childhood Rival Is Begging Me to Come Back

Cellist Lily grew up beside Ethan, a childhood friend who showed affection only through insults. When he moved on to someone else, she quietly left for Seattle. There, on a rainy night, Noah shared his umbrella and never stopped caring. Lily, guarded and afraid to say “I love you,” gave him only a little of her heart. Ethan returned full of regret, stirring up rumors to win her back. In the end, Lily learned to say her love out loud, and Ethan learned to let go. A sweet, healing romance.
