The Courage To Stay

For years, Ella has been running from heartbreak, love, and the version of herself that she no longer recognizes. It should be simple to accept a position as a piano tutor for a reserved, quiet youngster. Educate, be paid, and go. But Matteo isn’t just any pupil, and his father, Leo, is impossible to ignore.

Leo's entire life has been centered on keeping his son safe. Matteo has kept a distance from everyone since his mother left because he thinks love only ends in disappointment.



However, when Ella shows up, things change. For the first time in years, Matteo spoke. Leo feels unsatisfied as Matteo begins to open up.



But Ella has secrets of her own, and just when it seemed she had found a home, her past might pull her back into the life she pledged never to return to.



Matteo is caught between the people he loves and the truth he can't bring himself to say. When the past comes crashing in, Ella and Leo will have to choose between fighting for the life they never imagined or leaving before everything falls apart because sometimes the hardest thing is not falling but having the courage to stay.
