She came to Spain for a dream. He came back with secrets.

​

   Cora has spent years trying to forget the boy who once promised he would always come back for her.

When Liam suddenly reappears in her life, old memories return with a force she cannot control. The shy childhood friend she remembers has become a guarded, intense man with secrets of his own. He knows things about their past that Cora has never understood, and every moment beside him makes it harder to remember why she ever tried to let him go.

   A long-awaited trip to Spain becomes something far more complicated when Liam takes Cora through the streets of Barcelona and back into the memories they once shared. But beneath the attraction, the tenderness, and the promises they made so long ago, something darker is waiting.

Cora wants answers.

   Liam wants another chance.

   And the past is not finished with either of them.

   My Childhood Friend is a psychological dark-romance short story about lost love, buried secrets, emotional obsession, and the fragile line between memory and reality.
