Sunset Bird was supposed to be just another town, another stop in Cove Holden's quiet, drifting life - until he met Wendy Florence. Fierce, golden-eyed, and full of fire, Wendy wasn't just the girl next door... she became his anchor, his chaos, and his beginning.

But through it all, one truth remains: no matter where life takes them, they'll always find their way back to each other. Because love like theirs? It doesn't end. It begins-and always stays. ----- This was written during lockdown, it was sitting in my notes for so long-I decided to bring it back to life and revise it. ...totally not because my Our Life phase came back.Complete

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
