20 chapters of pure love
Introduction
Some stories begin in sunlight, with voices raised in certainty. Lily's began in shadows, with silence as her first language. She was shy, a girl who dressed in quiet elegance, hoping simplicity might make her invisible. But life rarely obeys.
Josh Hammond was the opposite: enigmatic, morally complex, a man who wore both suits and sweatpants with equal conviction. Where others fled from darkness, he seemed drawn to it-drawn, too, to the faint light Lily tried to keep hidden.
It started with a letter. A single handwritten message left behind like a dare. From there, nights unraveled into secrets, spontaneous drives to places the map had forgotten, and moments suspended in the fragile space between fear and longing.
This is the story of a girl who tried to hide and a man who refused to let her. Of letters that mended what words could not. Of lighthouses, shadows, and the kind of love that is less about perfection than repair.
