A Walk, a Dog, and a Second Chance

Some loves are worth a second try… even when the past still hurts. 🐾

Ana and Lara had the kind of love that felt like forever—until fear and outside pressures tore them apart. Now, months after their painful breakup, Ana throws herself into teaching, and Lara focuses on her veterinary clinic, both pretending they’ve moved on. But neither can forget what they lost.

Then fate intervenes.

A chance encounter reunites them, and suddenly, all the old feelings come rushing back. The laughter, the intimacy… the what-ifs. But rebuilding trust isn’t easy. Ana’s family still doubts their relationship. Lara’s career demands leave little room for compromise. And both women must confront the insecurities that drove them apart the first time.

With Max, their loyal dog, as their reluctant matchmaker, Ana and Lara tentatively navigate stolen moments, hard conversations, and the terrifying vulnerability of choosing love—again. But when a crisis forces them to lean on each other, they discover that second chances aren’t just about fixing the past… they’re about creating a future stronger than either imagined.
