My name is Romane, but everyone calls me Romy - and I hate it. But I never dared to tell anyone, because... we better just keep to ourselves, right?
One day, everything changed. I therefore ended up with my little sister Iris, aged 4 and way too young to understand everything that was going on.
A short summary of the next years: bullying, despair, mental health struggles. And through all this darkness, my stars also offered me friendship... and love.
Don't talk about me to anyone. I don't want to be famous, and especially not on the web.
~ Romane
**Story that's destined for TEENAGERS, even though the main character is a child - the themes (coming later in the story) are quite mature and include self-harming, gender identity struggles...**
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
