Some memories are not meant to be remembered.
She’s spent years holding herself together. He’s built his life on always looking forward. But when their worlds suddenly need to face the past, neither of them is ready for the shift.
Gabriella
Yoga grounds me. It’s how I manage the ache I don’t talk about and the memories I wish I could forget. Matteo is my safe place—the one part of my world untouched by the past. Maybe that’s why I can’t bring myself to share the darkest parts with him. I’ve built a life that feels steady—until the day that stability shatters. Suddenly, I’m forced to confront everything I’ve tried so hard to bury.
Matteo
Gabriella and I have been together for nine years. That’s nearly a decade of routines, inside jokes, and pretending not to notice the cracks beneath us. From the outside, it looks solid. And for a long time, I believed it was. But love isn’t only about holding on. Sometimes, it means learning how to stay—even when staying means facing the truth.
Tears to the Past is an emotional romance about finding balance, confronting the past, and learning that some memories are not meant to be remembered.
