About this audiobook
Daniel remembers a girl his dog liked. Anna remembers everything.
At eighteen, Anna Reed knew Daniel Mercer as the handsome older man who walked past the bakery where she worked. Nothing happened. Then she left.
Two years later, Anna returns to Alderwick with a camera, a career beginning to take shape, and no intention of being forgotten again. Daniel is forty-two, cautious, self-contained, and determined that twenty-one years between them is a fact neither attraction nor wishful thinking can erase.
Coffee becomes friendship. Friendship becomes longing. And when they finally stop pretending, they must decide whether love can make room for ambition, distance, time, and two people who remember the same beginning completely differently.
Told in alternating voices, *We Never Agreed How It Began* is a contemporary romance about memory, desire, agency, and choosing someone without making their world smaller.
