Echoes of Us
“I didn’t think you’d come,” Mickey whispered, risking taking a tentative step closer. Ian crossed his arms over his chest defensively. “Well. I’m here.” “You left.” Mickey looked down at his feet, kicking at the dirt. “No.” Ian pressed his lips into a thin line, the same insatiable anger he’d felt the other night returning. “You. Left.”

Years after Mickey’s band got their big break and left Chicago, an interview sparks rumors about the person he claims to have left behind.
At twenty one years old, Ian didn’t think he’d be back at home trying to piece his life together. The last thing he needs is Mickey Milkovich suddenly reappearing after years of radio silence.
As echoes of the past collide with the present, the boys are forced to confront whether the love they once shared is worth fighting for - or better left behind.
