Wondering Why [h.s.]

Dylan Sinclair has always lived in the glittering shadow of her affluent upbringing, where expectations weigh heavy on her heart. Loved by her wealthy parents, she feels oddly out of place in the world she inhabits, longing for something more than the polished facade of privilege. Amidst her inner turmoil, she finds comfort in the uncomplicated, down-to-earth presence of Harry Styles, a blue-collar dreamer with a gentle spirit. Their deepening friendship ignites stolen late-night adventures, moments filled with laughter, and a shared yearning for a different life.

As summer dwindles and the easel of life shifts, the reality of impending change looms large. Dylan prepares to leave her small town and embrace the elite lifestyle her parents have scripted for her-one that feels utterly suffocating. The thought of leaving Harry behind gnaws at her soul, but societal pressures compel her to fulfill the role expected of her, vowing to escape any ties that hold her to a simpler, more genuine existence.

Dylan grapples with a heart divided: the enticing allure of a prestigious college experience clashes with her undeniable connection to Harry and the raw authenticity he represents. As they navigate their separate paths, both must confront the truths of who they are and how much they are willing to sacrifice for love, aspirations, and the ever-elusive pursuit of happiness. Will Dylan choose freedom, leaving behind the life she knows, or embrace the risks of a real connection that could change everything?
