Some people don't leave scars... They leave echoes.
She wasn't asking for forever.
Just someone who would stay long enough to mean it.
Clara Weston never planned to fall again, not after everything that broke her.
But then came Ethan...The calm in her choas, the smile that felt like safety.
But fate had other plans ... Because sometimes love doesn't end , it just stops halfway.
And what's left behind is the ache of what was almost hers.

Gone Him Waiting Her
She was his first love. The girl who knew his laughter, his dreams, his fears. The one he swore he'd never let go of. Until one day, he did. Without warning. Without goodbye. He was her everything. Her first kiss. Her first heartbreak. The boy who carried her heart in his hands- and then shattered it when he disappeared. Years passed. Wounds turned into scars. She learned to live with the silence he left behind. He learned to live with the regret of leaving her. Now, fate has thrown Mason and Ella together again- in the most unexpected place, on the most ordinary day. But nothing about seeing each other feels ordinary. It feels like the past rushing back. It feels like the pieces of a love story trying to fit again. But can she trust him after the way he left? And can he prove that this time, he's here to stay? Because sometimes love doesn't end. Sometimes, it waits.
