At Hailey's Café

At three in the morning, the world is quiet enough to hear secrets. Hailey keeps her café open through the long, sleepless hours, serving coffee to strangers who would rather not be seen. It's easier that way-no names, no attachments, no risks.

Then Kaydon walks in. Polished, restless, and carrying the weight of a family legacy he never asked for, he doesn't belong in her world of chipped mugs and midnight silences. Yet he keeps coming back, drawn to the girl who hides behind her counter and the stories she won't tell.

As their fragile connection deepens into love, Hailey's carefully guarded truth begins to surface: her heart is failing her, in more ways than one. And Kaydon must decide what he's willing to sacrifice for a future that may never come.

In a café where every cup holds a story, theirs is one of love, loss, and the courage to choose each other against all odds.

Her heart was breaking, but it was also the strongest thing he had ever known.
