A Beautiful Mess (ON-HOLD)

"And they lived happily ever after."

This line always closes every fairytale, promising a perfect ending. No matter what the characters go through, they overcome it all and live a life free of struggle.

But life isn't a fairytale. There's no neat ending, no guarantee that everything will stay perfect. Reality is messy, unpredictable, and often unforgiving. Problems don't simply vanish, and even love can struggle under the weight of it all.

Gerard and Carol thought their love was unshakable, but reality has pushed them to their limits. Their once-strong connection now feels fragile, tangled in misunderstandings and pain.

Can they hold on to each other when everything seems to be falling apart? Is love enough to turn their mess into something beautiful?

Or will they have to let go, realizing that not every story ends with "happily ever after"?
