Lost song

Alissa Maxton used to have a song.

Not the kind you hear on the radio, but the kind that lived in quiet moments, in late nights with a guitar in her hands, in lyrics scribbled across worn notebook pages. It was hers, something she never had to question or explain.

Somewhere along the way, she stopped listening to it.

Now, at twenty-nine, Alissa has a life that looks exactly the way it should. A long-term relationship, a steady routine, a future that makes sense to everyone but her. She's spent years becoming someone easy, someone agreeable, someone who fits into the life she was told to want.

So when the moment comes-the one that's supposed to feel right, the one that's supposed to change everything-she realizes something she can't ignore anymore.
She doesn't recognize the life she's about to say yes to.

Instead of accepting the future waiting for her, Alissa does the one thing she never thought she would. She walks away, leaving behind everything stable, everything expected, and boards a flight to London-the last place she remembers feeling like herself.

Because if she's going to build a life, it has to sound like something she chose.
And for the first time in a long time-
She's finally ready to listen.
