The Last Wave (ONESHOT AU)

In a quiet coastal town, Rowan and Emma grew up together, their friendship blossoming into a deep and unbreakable love. They spent every evening by the shore, dreaming of a future filled with adventures, laughter, and a home by the sea. Their love was tender and full of hope.

But one fateful day, Emma began to feel unwell. Doctors soon discovered a rare, incurable illness. Rowan's world shattered as they watched the girl they loved slowly fade away. Despite the pain, they cherished every moment, whispering promises and sharing quiet sunsets, knowing their time was slipping away.

One soft spring morning, Emma was gone. Rowan's heart broke into a thousand pieces. They began to visit the beach every day, writing love letters to Emma and placing them in bottles, sending them out into the ocean. It was their way of keeping Emma close, hoping that somehow, their words would reach her love beyond the horizon.

Though time moved forward, Rowan remained tied to the memories of their brief yet beautiful love, left with an aching heart and an endless sea of what might have been.
