Eyes That Remember

In a quiet town stained by silence and secrets, twelve-year-old Elira lives a life carved by cruelty. Abused by her stepmother, starved, and scarred both inside and out, she drifts through her days like a ghost, too frightened to speak, too broken to hope. Her world is a cold, locked room-until she meets him.

A man who shouldn't exist.

Tall, quiet, and nearly thirty, Kael appears from the shadows with eyes that seem to see beyond flesh-into memories, into pain. He touches her world with warmth: offering food, comfort, and gentle care she's never known. But Kael is not just a stranger with kind hands-he is a cursed soul from another life, bound to the earth until he is truly loved.

What begins as a strange, almost impossible connection grows into something deeper, something fate never meant to happen. Because love, in all its forms, can heal-or haunt.

And sometimes, the ones we save are the ones who save us.
