Charlie Porter arrives in Providence with a packed truck, a cat named Milo, and the hope that distance might finally quiet the ache she's been carrying. Grad school is supposed to be a fresh start-but healing isn't linear, and starting over doesn't mean you stop looking back.
Between crowded subways, café shifts, and writing assignments that cut too close to the bone, Charlie tries to piece together a new version of herself-one that isn't built on guilt or giving too much away. She builds routines, soft friendships, and a sense of stillness she hasn't known in years.
Then a blog post is shared with her in attempt to show her a new path. A question. A challenge. A dare to feel something again. What starts as a quiet reading of typed confessions from a stranger becomes something deeper, more intimate in her mind... but Charlie still doesn't know who's on the other end.
Ink, Love, and Everything Else is a story about learning to belong to yourself first. About the spaces we create for truth, the words we leave behind, and the kind of love that finds us when we stop trying to earn it.
