She doesn't speak unless spoken to.
She flinches at loud sounds.
And no one at Ashgrove High really knows where all those bruises come from.
Ryn Solace is used to being invisible-until a new teacher arrives with eyes too old for her face and a voice that makes the air hold still.
Then something shifts.
Something ancient.
Something no one was supposed to see.
Her father notices.
And he doesn't take kindly to change.
There are rules in Ashgrove.
Some are written.
Some are ancient.
And some?
Were made to be broken.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
