When We Were Fireflies
Updated at Jul 16, 2025, 08:48
Five years ago, Freya Pajardo’s older brother vanished during the Firefly Festival. Since then, she’s hidden behind silence and sarcasm, building walls no one can cross. Now, as the festival returns to their coastal town, so do the memories she’s tried to forget. And when mysterious drawings begin appearing in her locker—sketches of secret places only her brother knew—Freya is pulled into a quiet mystery that might finally reveal the truth. With her is Luis Imperial, the new boy with a quiet presence and a gaze that feels too familiar. Together, they follow the trail of sketches, stories, and secrets left behind. What they find may not bring her brother back—but it might just bring Freya home to herself. A story of grief, healing, memory, and the glow that still lingers—one firefly at a time.
