b - sides

he was supposed to be forgotten.

elena has spent years convincing herself she's impossible to know. between an ex she'd rather forget, a past she's buried beneath late-night playlists and cheap coffee, and dreams that feel increasingly out of reach, she's learnt not to ask too much from anyone.

then she meets harry.

frustrating. impossible to read. and too fucking cheery sometimes.

he sings at open mics, works at a tiny café in london, and carries secrets behind every smile. the closer elena gets, the more she realises there's something he isn't telling her.

some people disappear because they want to.

others don't get a choice.
