Perfect Strangers

Briece's world shattered the moment her father abandoned her and her mother, leaving her feeling lost and invisible. Struggling to cope with the emotional turmoil, she drifted through her days, unable to recognize the girl she once was. Her studies suffered, and the spark she once had dimmed to a mere flicker.

Everything changed when Ande, her mother's godchild, stepped into her life like a breath of fresh air. From their very first encounter, Briece was drawn to Ande's vibrant spirit and warmth. Words often eluded her as she tried to describe the effect Ande had on her; it was as if a veil had been lifted, illuminating the shadows of her past. With Ande by her side, Briece began to discover parts of herself that had long been buried.

As their friendship blossomed, Briece was confronted with a profound realization: she didn't have to be perfect to be worthy of love and acceptance. But with this awakening came a deep-seated fear of losing Ande-the one person who made her feel seen and understood.

Now, Briece grapples with a question that weighs heavily on her heart: was their serendipitous meeting orchestrated to help her confront the painful truths she had long avoided? They were two perfect strangers, unexpectedly intertwined in each other's lives, but she couldn't shake the feeling that their connection might be fleeting, destined to end far too soon.
