Sunlight & Storm Warnings

Celeste doesn't believe in love.

Not the soft kind. Not the forever kind. Not the kind people write about like it saves you.

For her, love is loud doors, unanswered calls, and learning how to survive in a house that never feels like home.

So she keeps her distance. From people. From feelings. From anything that asks her to stay.

Then there's Cayden Williams.

Quiet. Gentle. The kind of person who notices things he doesn't say out loud.

He wasn't supposed to matter.

But somewhere between shared silences, early mornings, and a space that finally feels safe, Celeste finds herself wanting something she's never allowed before-

a way out.

A small apartment. Three rooms. Just enough for her, her mother, and her little sister.

Just enough to breathe.

But life doesn't let go that easily.

And the closer she gets to something better, the more everything she's been running from starts pulling her back.

This isn't a love story.

It's about healing, survival, and what happens when someone stays... even when you don't believe they will.
