Prologue
The wind had changed everything. It had changed her life and in that brief moment as the door banged heavily against the wall, she knew that nothing would stay the same. The wind blew the cobwebs that had decorated her life without her even realising… It opened her eyes to something new; life.
"Hi"
Opening up had always been Rae's problem. She was happy to be alone, she enjoyed it. She could read her books, follow her patterns, listen to music, stick to her schedules. There was no doubt within her that she'd taken the wrong path, she was happy, things were stable and she didn't need anybody to complete her. It had taken her a long time to get to this state of mind, one unhealthy relationship after another proving to her that she only needed herself.
No, Rae certainly didn't regret her life. She'd set up her own little café named Champagne Supernova. The lettering on the sign that hung above the bay windows swirled and the capital letters were bigger in size then the others. She loved her little café. It was all hers and nobody could take it away.
The door blew open one windy November afternoon, the bell above it tinkering signalling that somebody had entered her haven. Putting down the dirty cups that she had been collecting, she wiped her hands quickly on her apron before turning around.
"How can I he-," she stopped mid-sentence.
The wind changed everything that day. It came in and blew her world into smithereens. Her 30 year old mind disappeared and she was back to her 18 year old self again.
Those brown eyes…. She'd never forgotten them, they haunted her dreams every single night.
"Hi," he whispered.
"Finn," the name left her lips breathlessly.
"Long time no see."
