With every step, Evelyn moves through the eras of her life-some joyful, some painful, all strangely distant.
Faces she should know she can't remember. Places feel both familiar and forgotten. And no matter how far she walks, "home" seems just out of reach.
A quiet short story about memory, time, and a woman searching for herself as the world she once knew fades around her.

In The Dark , With You
Adam Huxley has lived in the dark long before he lost his sight. Blind since the age of four, abandoned by his father, and raised in a home where love was scarce and silence was safer, Adam has learned to keep his walls high and his heart hidden. He's haunted by the one person who ever truly cared for him-his sister Evelyn, whose sudden death years ago was ruled a suicide. But some wounds don't fade. And some questions never stop echoing. Enter Vivian Hill-sharp, stubborn, and beautifully inconvenient. She doesn't flinch when he pushes her away. She doesn't pity him. Instead, she listens. Challenges him. And little by little, she starts to untangle the parts of him he's kept buried for years. But as their connection deepens, so does the mystery around Evelyn's death. And when buried secrets start rising-letters, warnings, and a name no one dares to say-they find themselves caught in something far darker than grief. Because someone wants the past to stay hidden. And the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes. A love story wrapped in loss, loyalty, and long-forgotten lies-where the heart isn't the only thing at stake.
