He filled her life with color, then left her in silence.
He was loud, funny, and lit up every room he entered. She was quiet, grounded, and drawn to the chaos he carried so effortlessly. Together, they made sense. Their love was deep, fierce, and undeniable-even as Noah's body began to fail him.
When they found out they were expecting, it gave them something to hold onto. A future. A reason to hope.
Then Noah was gone.
Left to face a world that no longer made sense, May did everything she could to protect the last piece of Noah. But grief, poverty, and the weight of being young and alone forced her into an unthinkable decision-one that cost her not just the man she loved, but the child they had dreamed of together.
Years later, still haunted by the past and what might have been, May sets out to reclaim something she thought she'd lost forever. But healing isn't simple, and the path to forgiveness-especially self-forgiveness-is rarely clear.
Thank you for reading the first draft of the beginning of my book. These are the only chapters available right now, since I'm planning to self-publish soon. I truly appreciate your time, and I hope you'll stick with me on this journey! Link to the book will be available in the next months.
What happens when you fall in love while you're still breaking?
𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 is officially at rock bottom. Her moods are unpredictable, her impulses reckless and healing feels like a mountain too steep to climb. She's forced to leave her wild and carefree university student life behind. June struggles to come to terms with her diagnosis. Finding herself estranged mother in a quiet and unfamiliar seaside town, where the silence makes everything louder.
𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞 knows what it means to lose someone slowly, and then all at once. Grief sharpened him into something rough. His tattoos are his armour, humour and charm his defences. He learned the hard way that loving someone sick can destroy you.
Together they are a wildfire. Intoxicating and comforting, finding refuge in each other. As their lives collide, the line between love and self destruction blurs. Healing and falling into old pattens are balancing a tight rope; some wounds refuse to heal quietly.
"By the time you are reading this, I'm gone."
