Whispers of the heart

Lillian Montgomery thought leaving was the right choice. A clean break, a fresh start. But some bonds don't fade with distance, and some people leave a mark too deep to erase.

Alexander Hawthorne was never the type to chase after someone. He believed in silence over sentiment, in control over chaos. But when Lillian disappeared without a word, something shifted. The absence of her presence, her sharp words, her stubborn defiance-it unsettled him more than he was willing to admit.

All she left behind was a bouquet of satin ribbon roses-delicate, soft, and painstakingly handmade. A quiet goodbye from a woman who never said the words out loud. But Alexander refuses to let it be the end.

When fate places them in each other's path once again, they are forced to confront what was left unspoken. Two people, too guarded, too familiar with solitude, must learn what it means to hold on instead of walk away.

Because love isn't always loud. Sometimes, it lingers in the quiet moments, in the unsaid words, in the spaces between longing and understanding.

Sometimes, love is found in the whispers of the heart.
