goodbyes synonym

Catherine Drey once believed she and Xandon Chize were unbreakable. Best friends, almost lovers—until a single text shattered everything. Now, a year later, his silence echoes louder than her own thoughts, and every person she lets close only reminds her of him. To Catherine, he’s the ghost she keeps trying to outrun. To Xandon, she’s the one person he can’t forget, no matter how many sins he hides behind. But fate has a cruel sense of humor—because the more she tries to move on, the deeper she falls into the chaos that mirrors him. Jase, her neighbor, burns with an obsession she doesn’t fully see. Landon, Xandon’s twin, touches her with a familiarity she can’t escape. And Xandon? He’s the memory she still aches for, the goodbye that refuses to end. When the lines between love, guilt, and obsession blur, Catherine must face the truth she’s avoided all along— some hearts were never meant to heal. But when the past comes crashing back, one question remains: Will she choose the one who broke her, the one who mirrors him… or the one who can’t let her go?
