A well-known writer retired from her career due to an unexpected medical finding. She's spent most of her times in building up stories and relationships that had never existed in real life to make her readers satisfied, thus she forgot to build one of her own in reality. But not because it has been years since her last romance ended and that crushed her into pieces which made her step into her imagination and made it an opportunity to survive, does not mean she won't need breath of new beginnings. It's been her longest dream to fly in Italy and do whatever she wants in there, and who knows maybe the one for her is waiting there.
She met a man in her stay in Rome and he showed her things she hadn't seen before. It is like he made her touch the stars in the darkness of night, brought what she had only written in her works to life. To cut it short, he changed her soul.
But just like in her works, not all chapters contain slow motions, falling petals, twinkling eyes, tight hugs, or kissing in the rain, for storm is made and as well as the tidal wave.
