Last Thing Left Unsaid

Five years ago, someone walked away without a goodbye.

No explanation.
No closure.
Just silence.

Dr. Ayla Dionne A. Reves spent years convincing herself that moving on was enough. She built the life she had always dreamed of, poured everything into becoming the dentist she wanted to be, and promised herself she would never wait for someone who had already chosen to leave.

Then life introduces her to someone who is nothing like the person who broke her.

Patient. Steady. Consistent.

Someone who never asks her to heal overnight-only to take her time.

For the first time in years, Ayla begins to believe that maybe love doesn't have to hurt.

But just when she's finally ready to open her heart again, the past she thought she'd buried finds its way back into her life.

Some people return for closure.

Some return to ask for a second chance.

And sometimes, the hardest choice isn't between the past and the present...

It's between the life you've already accepted and the future you never saw coming.
