A taste of laughter and tears

They say you can't step in the same river twice. But... what if the river never stopped flowing?

When they meet again years later, they are no longer the two naive people who believed that emotion could conquer all. They had already experienced their first love, the burning and blind one. All that was left were scars, a few old photos and a silence that lasted too long. Now they're older, more jaded, and the world has taught them that feelings are a luxury they can't afford.

They are drawn together again, but this time it's different. There is no lightness in it, only a need, a magnetism and a common past that binds them stronger than any promise. They want each other, but they both know the rules of the game: no big words, no plans, no false hopes.

They know one thing - you can't call this relationship love. Because love is for those who still believe in happy endings. They're just surviving the present.

A story about second chances that don't taste like cotton candy, but like rain, and the realization that some ties can't be broken, even if we no longer have a name for them.
