On January 31, Quinn Fosters life changed and it wasn't for the better.
Never did she expect that on a boring Monday morning, she'd get a call at work that would not only impact her, but also be the beginning of the end of her happiness as she knew it.
Not only did Quinn not prepare herself for the call, but hadn't also prepared to face the reality of what had been staring her in the face for so long; Her boyfriend, best friend and love of her life, Charles "Charlie" Bradford was on his final moments of his battle with pancreatic cancer and that his final wish was for his other half; the piece of his missing puzzle, Quinn , were to be there to heal him and of course; set him free.
On January 31, Quinn learned how to let go, despite the pain it caused her for doing so.

Mrs. Avery
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10KComplete
