You Loved Me Once

Alba Nunez had thought that her first relationship would be her last.

She and Lionel had been best friends since they were in diapers, dating since they were 16, and all seemed set for them to get married and live the happily ever after that Alba had dreamt of for years...at least they were until Lionel changed his mind.

3 weeks before their big day, Alba returned to their home to find his bags packed and Lionel sat on their bed, preparing to drop the news of his decision to leave her.

5 years later, the former couple find themselves in their home town, preparing for the wedding of two of their closest friends, but with tension evident between them, their past starts to cause problems for those around them.

Will Alba and Lionel be able to put their past behind them or will a month together allow them to rekindle what they once had?
