A Touch Before The End
She helps everyone else heal - but no one sees the cracks forming inside her.
Seventeen-year-old Saela walks through life like a ghost: smiling so no one asks questions, laughing so they don't look too closely. To the world, she's the quiet girl who always listens. To herself, she's a ticking clock counting down the days until she finally disappears.
But just when she's ready to give up - to step away for good - someone notices.
A boy with kind eyes and rain in his hair.
A voice that doesn't fix her but stays.
A touch before the end.
This is a story about pain, quiet strength, and the kind of love that doesn't save you - it sees you.
