Amelia and Jackson shared whispered secrets, backyard games, and promises that felt unbreakable. But childhood doesn’t last forever. Now, distance is measured in more than miles—it’s in missed lunches, misunderstood texts, and the silence where their friendship used to be.
Jackson is in Florence, chasing lightning storms and sleepless nights, determined to become the kind of artist the world can’t ignore. Amelia is pouring every ounce of herself into dance, building brilliance from pain and scars. Different cities. Different dreams. Different futures.
When their paths collide again, old feelings ignite, but so do the reasons they fell apart. Between ambition, heartbreak, and the weight of years, they must decide: is first love strong enough to become forever love?
This Side of the Fence is a sweeping story of first love, fierce loyalty, and the kind of second chance that proves some hearts are meant to find their way home..
