Thank you so much to everyone who supported me as I wrote Adira and Cads' love story. Despite the fact that it took me months to finish this novel, you waited patiently to get here.

To all readers of this story, whether silent or not, I hope you took away a lesson from Adira and Cads' journey, not simply their stupid and flirtatious actions in life.

Cads' character was created because I had never had a boy bestfriend before. I have a few boy pals, but they aren't the "finest" or very close. I'm surrounded only by my female friends. And, despite being an introvert, I just require a small circle of friends in my life.

And, from a previous story I read, this is the sole line that has stayed with me to this day:

"A few friends will suffice."

It is preferable to have a few loyal friends than a big circle of friends, some of whom are gossiping about you behind your back. However, this will not apply to everyone.

Some people have really good friends, and I admire them for that.

Adira, one of my characters, had gone through and suffered from several difficulties in her life. She was put under academic pressure, she was sexually molested multiple times by a random stranger, and her cruel stepfather, Raphael, abused her emotionally, mentally, and physically. If anyone here is going through one of Adira's life struggles, I just wanted to encourage you that you should keep going in life like Adira.

Be brave and strong not only for the people who surround you now, but also for yourself.

It may be difficult for you to go through something like that, but always remember to save yourself from a sinking boat and not allow yourself drown in the raging water. Someone will help you. It might be someone unrelated to you or your friends.

Furthermore, do not attempt to harm yourself as Adira did. I included that scene not to give you the notion to do the same thing, but to show you that cutting your skin or doing something that will harm yourself is not the way to solve your problems. It will numb you at initially, but it will not help you overcome issues.

Before doing such things, consider the people around you. If you need someone to talk to, I can make time for you to talk about your troubles in life:)

Don't keep your troubles to yourself; instead, find someone who will listen to you.

"Let go of everything and begin a new life."

Again, thank you so much for sticking with me to the end, and I adore you all!
