Sloth

They didn’t lose each other because they didn’t care… they lost each other because they didn’t do the work.

Eryn Peters does not look back.

Not at the past. Not at the decisions she made. And definitely not at the relationship that once meant everything to her.

Because some things are easier left untouched.

Simeon King has never had that luxury.

For years, he has lived with unanswered questions, unfinished conversations, and a love he never fully let go of. Trust may be broken, but what he feels for Eryn has never disappeared.

Now, life brings them back together.

Not by choice. Not by timing. But by necessity.

What starts as a professional reconnection quickly becomes something more complicated. Old emotions resurface. Old wounds reopen. And the truth they have both avoided refuses to stay buried.

Because this was never just about what went wrong.

It was about what neither of them was willing to face.

Now, they are standing at the same crossroads they once walked away from.

But this time, love is not the only thing that matters.

Effort is.

And the question is no longer whether they still care about each other.

It is whether they are finally willing to do the work it takes to make it right.
