The Last Chapter We Never Wrote

We wrote some chapters,
but left so many pages blank.
Through time and distance,
you were always there.

------------------------

Clara always dreamed of leaving her small hometown for New York City- a life of books, writing, and independence. She never imagined coming back would mean stepping into the quiet grief of her mother's passing and the legacy of the family bookstore she always loved but never fully appreciated.

And she never imagined seeing Dylan again.

Once inseparable childhood best friends, they drifted apart over the years. Now he's here, quietly holding things together and keeping her mother's bookstore running while Clara has been away in New York pursuing her dreams. But the past isn't that easy to forget. Every glance, every shared silence, is a reminder of what they lost-and what they never admitted to each other.

Even when the story seems finished,
some pages stay unwritten.
