Chasing Butterflies [Regressor]

Everyone dreams about going back and fixing past mistakes. Olivia is desperately trying not to. Three beautiful children, a happy home, and a husband who could still send her stomach fluttering after more than a decade. Olivia had a life she wouldn't trade for anything. Then she wakes up as her fourteen year old self again. Suddenly, it's 2006. Her children don't exist, her husband won't meet her for years, and Olivia's precious home is nothing but a far-off memory. One that may never come to pass again. Unless she can do something about it. With freshman year just about to start, Olivia makes a plan. Follow the same path she did last time. Keep the most important pieces the same. Avoid causing too many ripples. And absolutely do not turn twenty years of hindsight into the world's most overpowered second chance. Because Olivia doesn’t want a better life. She wants her family back. There's just one problem: she isn't the same painfully shy teenager as before. Marriage, motherhood, and a lifetime of growth mean that her old fears aren't just gone—they're practically laughable. All too quickly, Olivia sees the little changes that keep popping up as she tries and fails to slip into her old shoes. Then the little changes stop being quite so little. Olivia knows exactly what she wants from her second chance: the same ending. But she's already a completely different person. And the harder she tries to chase down the future she remembers, the more butterflies she sets loose along the way.
