This isn't a story about big events or grand adventures. It's not one that rushes or insists. It's a small story-soft and slow-where people live their lives gently, quietly. This story is about the calm in the everyday. About people who may not shout their dreams out loud, but live them quietly. People who find meaning in their small joys and steady days. Author note: The author will start with small character introductions and we will know the characters deeper as we delve deeper into the story
