1 / ONE first love / first heartbreak.

Luna Santiago still remembers every detail of the three months she spent by his side. How could she ever forget them when it was such a significant part of her?

Before that trip, she had known nothing—of herself or the world. She'd spent eighteen years hiding, shielding herself away from people whose only interest in her were her parents. The only reason she had even agreed on spending that summer in Dublin had been because Elijah Hewson—after finding out she was planning on spending her last summer before college in her room—invited her to join him and his friends on their post-graduation plans, and she hadn't been able to say no.

From the moment she landed, they'd all made her feel like she belonged there, so, for three months, Luna got to be free. She got to be more than her parent's daughter, than the sad, lonely and friendless girl she'd been her whole life. She got to be herself—to find herself.

And in the process, she made the idiotic mistake of falling in love.

Robert Keating had been nothing like anyone Luna had met before. From the moment their eyes met, there'd been something pulling them together; that made them feel a way they had never felt before.

She still remembers the countless times they'd stayed up until ungodly hours of the night and just talked about anything and everything, or when they would walk down the Dublin streets, her hand intertwined with his or his arms around her shoulders, always keeping her close to him.

Even more, she remembers how excited she would wake up everyday, simply because she'd get to spend time with him—because it meant she would get to feel his hands against her own, on her waist, on the small of her back; his breath in her ear as he whispered things only for her to hear; and the trace of his lips against her own, against her hands, her shoulders, or anywhere he could reach.

And then, on one of the days at the end of August, they inevitably parted ways, just like they were always meant to. Luna returned home, packed her life into boxes, moved into her dorm room, and kept her part of the promise they'd made before saying goodbye. Rob, on the other hand, before a month had even passed, broke the promise—ending all contact between the two with no explanation, or goodbye.

2 / TWO forgive and forget, easier said than done.

         Luna Santiago has wished she could strangle Elijah Hewson more times than she could count—the boy did love getting on her nerves—but Grace Burns? Never. She loved the girl too much to get irritated by her, plus they'd been living together for almost a year, and she'd been nothing but an angel. Of course, Luna had forgotten to take into account that, with her roommate dating the idiot she calls one of her best friends, anything could be possible.

         What had the couple done to enlist such anger, enough to have Luna considering moving out? They had decided to spend Inhaler's break in New York City without telling her all the details of their plan.

         It's not that she had been annoyed at the idea of Elijah becoming their unofficial roommate for a few months. Far from it, actually. She loved spending time with him, and, by default, him, plus, technically speaking, he has been Luna's unofficial roommate since she moved into her first apartment after freshman year of college.

         The problem had absolutely nothing to do with Elijah's presence.

         It had everything to do with the fact that, when they told Luna their plans, and she'd shown clear excitement over getting to spend time with friends she hadn't seen in what felt like forever—Ryan Mcmahon and Josh Jenkinson—they failed to mention the small details that, not only were they all staying in their apartment, but that all four members of Inhaler would be coming.

         They had failed to mention that Robert Keating would be moving into her apartment—her home—for a couple of months.

         Instead, Luna found out about it on an early December evening, over five years since he had broken her heart, without saying as much as a word, when she walked into her apartment and found Robert Keating sitting on her couch.
