Chengelo has built her life with quiet determination, through long days, honest work, and a heart that has learned to endure without complaint. Love was never her focus; purpose was. Until one unexpected meeting with June gently alters the course of her life, opening doors she never imagined and leading her toward a connection she never sought.
Leo carries his grief with grace. The loss he endured reshaped him, teaching him how to survive but leaving him wary of loving again. He has made peace with solitude, convinced that some chapters are meant to remain closed.
When their worlds collide, what unfolds is neither rushed nor loud, but tender, intentional, and deeply unsettling in the best way. In each other, they find familiarity where there should be none, comfort where there was once ache, and the possibility of a love that heals rather than hurts.
But love after loss is never simple. It asks for courage, patience, and the willingness to believe that distance, fear, and timing don't always get the final say.
This is a story about second chances.
About love that arrives quietly, and stays.
About two hearts learning that healing doesn't mean forgetting... it means choosing to feel again.
