Maya has always been the quiet girl—the one who loves too deeply and speaks too softly.

When she falls for Ethan, the most popular boy in school, she knows he may never feel the same way. But she never expects him to turn her feelings into a reason to hurt her.

He laughs at her.

He embarrasses her.

He makes her regret ever loving him.

Yet Maya keeps hoping that one day he'll see her differently.

Until she finally realizes that loving someone should never cost her the love she has for herself.

Maya begins to choose herself and slowly walks away from the boy who made her feel worthless.

But fate has something cruel in store.

When Maya is suddenly gone, Ethan is left with memories, unanswered questions, and a love he never had the courage to understand.

Only then does he realize the truth:

She had loved him when he didn't deserve it.

And he learned to love her when she was no longer there to hear it.

Some apologies come too late.

Some regrets last forever.

And sometimes, by the time you realize someone's worth... it was already too late.
