Sofia Carlsen has been living the majority of her life running away from her past. Unfortunately that also meant running away from her childhood best friends. After having moved to a whole different country at the age of seven, and being promised to be back four years later, something traumatic happened, messing up the original plans. While a promise made shortly before her departure kept her heart in New City, she was still an ocean apart from him. Aaron Marsh is good at making promises, determined to never break one. He has big dreams but an even bigger mouth when it comes to Sofia. When he heard she would move away, Aaron couldn't help himself but to promise Sofia to be together again. Given that she was only supposed to stay away for four years, an easy promise to hold on to, right? But what if four years turn into thirteen? After thirteen years apart, childhood sweethearts meet again. Soon Aaron finds out that Sofia needs someone to spend the holidays with. Naturally, Aaron is her guy; making yet another promise to her. Being in a forced proximity for weeks, they get closer again and are quick to learn that neither of them ever stopped holding on to the promises Aaron made. Now only one question remains; Will they make it? Will Aaron have to break his promises, or is he able to make the ones made at the age of eight come true?
