Where I Finally Belong

Chelsey learned how to smile through everything and hide her pain.

Through the things she never talks about.
Through the memories she tries to forget.
Through the silence she's grown used to.

Some people come into your life like sunlight-warm, easy, and impossible to ignore.

Others feel like the ocean-quiet, deep, and a little dangerous.

He was never meant to matter.
But the way he looks at her-like he sees through every wall she built, like he's holding onto something she can't remember-makes her question everything.
Because sometimes, the past doesn't stay buried.

And sometimes, the people you don't remember...
are the ones who remember you the most.
And maybe, just maybe-
he isn't here to break her.

He's here to unravel her slowly, and become the home she's been searching for after everything she's been through.
