Endless Chords
After an electrifying concert weekend, Veronica is on her journey back home, tired, inspired, and focused. The event wasn't just about the music; it was a chance to prove herself behind the lens. Veronica spontaneously spends a moment of honesty in a crowded concert with Jack.
Jack leaves her with his email on a receipt-nothing else. No number. No socials. Just a single thread for someone to follow if she dares.
When Veronica finally writes to Jack, they find their connection deepens. It sparks something gentle but rare: a conversation that doesn't require performing, just presence.
But then she doesn't respond.
To Jackson, her silence becomes heartbreak. Touring with his band, he spirals through questions he can't quite answer. About Veronica. About his bandmate Lawrence, whose quiet touch and familiar closeness have long blurred the line between comfort and longing.
This story will continue with different POV's, and include different relationship tension between friends, bandmates, and lovers.
As tour buses roll forward and inboxes stay unanswered, everyone remains suspended in the in-between, where intimacy doesn't mean clarity, and where wanting something doesn't make it easier to hold.
Endless Chords is a tender, slow-burning exploration of identity, timing, and the people who arrive just before you're ready-but stay long enough to matter.

Book 1 (out of 3)
It took ten years for her to run away. Not because of a strategic plan or masterful deception. No, it only happened because of some tragic 'luck'. Luck created by hundreds sacrificed for a single girl.
Was it worth it?
She knew the answer to that question but had continued to run just as they told her, continued to hope, continued to survive. Even if it was only for one more minute of life. One more minute for their story to be told.
Through chance it only takes a second for a minute to turn into years and a single encounter to change a life around. So with an extra second given, she survived.
But the price of survival is to remember, and for those sacrificed it was a burden she has to remember and never forget. But a cracked dam can only hold out until it is repaired or collapses.
