Summary:
Jack Hughes thought he had time - time to choose her, time to come home, time to fix everything he let slip through the cracks. But while he was chasing a legacy on the ice, Aurelia was quietly grieving the love they were losing. She waited, forgave, held on through silence - until the morning she left without a word, leaving only a note behind.
Now, years later, Jack reflects on the slow unraveling of their relationship: the missed moments, the unspoken words, and the ache of loving someone too late. Across cities, careers, and chance reunions, her absence becomes the loudest thing in his life.
This is a story of love that wasn't enough, of two people who once had everything - and lost it not with a scream, but with a whisper.
A tragic, haunting, and bittersweet fanfic inspired by "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA - where the girl walked away, and the boy was left behind.
