Almost the Ending

He walked into her ending like it was the beginning.

--

Natalie thought she had time.

Time to finish college.
Time to figure out who she was.
Time to fall in love, eventually.

But when she's diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor that will end up killing her, her future is no longer something she gets to plan; it's something she has to grieve.

Then she meets a fellow cancer patient, Jonah Veylor.

He's sarcastic, infuriatingly optimistic, and everything she doesn't have the energy to be. And worst of all, he's expected to survive his diagnosis.

What starts as reluctant conversation turns into late-night talks, quiet car rides, and a connection Natalie never saw coming... one that forces her to confront the life she's losing and the life she still has left.

Falling in love was never part of the plan, and neither was learning how to say goodbye.

Some love stories are meant to last forever. This one was never meant to last at all.
