Author's Message

Before you begin reading, I want to take a moment to share why this story exists.

Writing this was a journey — one of discovery, vulnerability, and quiet reflection. It's about love, not in grand gestures, but in the soft, unspoken ways it lives within us. It's about the feelings we often hide away, the moments we keep to ourselves because we're afraid they won't be understood or returned. This is a story for anyone who's ever loved quietly, from afar, or held onto something that never fully bloomed.

At its heart, this story is a reflection of the human experience — of yearning, letting go, and finding beauty in the spaces in between. Sometimes love isn't loud or all-consuming; sometimes, it's a whisper in the back of our hearts, one we carry with us quietly, hoping that, someday, it might be seen.

This is my gift — a story from my heart to yours. I hope it resonates with you, whether it's the love that never came to be, the quiet ache of a dream you couldn't reach, or the tender release of letting go.

Thank you for walking alongside me through this. I hope you find a piece of yourself here.
