Misery's Advent Series 1: Misrouted Whim (Girls' Love)
Under the weight of her new life, Clíodhna De Santis moved through the shadows, her footsteps quiet, her gaze always searching for escape. The faces she encountered blurred into the background, each one a reminder of how out of place she felt, how far from home. Every decision was laced with the fear of being seen, of being *known* in a way she wasn't ready for.
The past clung to her like a ghost, its whispers curling at the edges of her thoughts, just out of reach yet impossible to forget. She learned quickly to bury it all-her true self, her story-concealing the raw edges beneath layers of silence. She had no choice. But no matter how far she ran, no matter how carefully she hid, the weight of it all never loosened its grip.
Then, one night, the fear shifted. It wasn't enough to hide anymore. The quiet, oppressive stillness demanded something from her-something she wasn't ready to give, but couldn't keep from giving.
