AND I STILL WAITED

is a deeply emotional story about love that begins unexpectedly... and lingers long after it ends.
What was meant to be an ordinary day at a hotel turns into something unforgettable when Easter meets Kezia-a quiet, captivating girl who instantly shifts something inside her. From shared glances and rooftop conversations to soft moments filled with laughter and possibility, their connection feels rare, almost destined.
But not every love story is meant to unfold freely.
Bound by circumstances, distance, and unspoken fears, what begins as something beautiful slowly becomes complicated. Messages grow distant, moments become memories, and the space between them begins to widen. Yet, even in the silence, the feelings remain-deep, consuming, and impossible to ignore.
As Easter navigates heartbreak, longing, and the painful process of letting go, she finds herself holding on to memories, prayers, and the hope that maybe, in another time or another life, things could have been different.

In the aftermath of that love, Easter tries to move on. But in doing so, she meets Tabby-a girl who becomes both comfort and distraction. What starts as healing slowly reveals a harder truth: she didn't fully let go of Keziah when she entered something new.
She used Tabby to move forward... to escape what she couldn't face.
And she knew it wasn't fair.
Eventually, both relationships fracture under the weight of unresolved emotion, self-deception, and longing that was never fully healed. What remains is not just heartbreak, but reflection-on love, selfishness, and emotional survival.
Now, looking back, she is forced to confront a painful question:
Was any of it ever truly meant to last... or was she simply trying to hold on to love in every direction, even when it meant hurting the people closest to her?
And I Still Waited is a story about love that doesn't end cleanly, choices that leave scars, and the version of ourselves we become when we don't know how to let go.
