Hiraeth

Hiraeth

A deep, aching longing for a place, a person, or a feeling of home that may never have truly existed.

Lila's life feels quietly perfect.

A warm apartment. Soft routines. A love that never wavers. Ethan is steady in all the ways the world isn't-always there, always certain, always enough.

And for a while, that's all she needs.

But happiness, when examined too closely, can begin to shift.

Small things stop making sense. Moments slip. Reflections don't quite match. And the life she's been living-so carefully, so completely-starts to feel like something just slightly out of place.

As the cracks deepen, Lila is forced to question everything she thought was real... including the one person she trusts the most.

Because some love stories aren't what they seem.

And sometimes, the thing you miss the most-

was never really there at all.
