Allow me to introduce myself: the name's Dylan Neville. I'm a decent writer, a good cook, and (if I do say so myself) the sharpest shot in the City. Nice to meet you all. Well, I found out the hard way that there's only so many bridges you can burn before you've got no more places to run. So I had to turn to my brother, currently sitting on his newly minted detective agency and looking for assistants. Ryan spent most of our childhood as an amateur sleuth. But I'd say there are significant differences between being a kid detective and doing the business as an adult. For instance; your name gets stamped above the door for the mighty convenience of anyone who wants you dead. Can't say this is how I imagined spending my twenties. But hey, I've got nowhere else to go. Might as well make the best out of it.

They promised each other, "Until we meet again." Years later, fate brings childhood best friends Alexander and Nova back together , but just as they begin to heal old wounds, they're forced apart once more. Can a promise survive distance, secrets, and time?

Teri yaadon ka shehar ab bhi meri rooh mein basa hua hai, Har gali mein tera naam, har mod pe tera intezaar likha hua hai. Log kehte hain waqt har zakhm bhar deta hai, Magar kuch dard aise hote hain jo saanson ke saath jeena sikh jaate hain. Main ne tujhe duaon mein bhi manga tha, Aur taqdeer ne tujhe meri kahani se hi mita diya. Tu kisi aur ki muskurahat ban gaya, Aur main apni tanhaiyon ka humsafar. Na shikayat hai tujhse, na gila taqdeer se, Bas itna afsos hai ke mohabbat mukammal na ho saki. Har raat chaand se tera pata poochta hoon, Har subah khud ko jhooti tasalli de deta hoon. Agar kabhi meri yaad aaye, To sirf itna soch lena... Ek shakhs tha, Jo apni har dua mein tera naam rakhta tha, Aur aakhri saans tak sirf tera hi raha.
