If only you stayed. . .we wouldn't be wondering, right? Maybe by now, we would have built a life
Eizariya Ysabelle a master pastry chef, hands steady and sure, moving as if grace itself lived in her bones. Her curls swayed like waves kissing the shore, soft yet certain.
An independent NBSB, she never planned for a boy to arrive and love was never on her list.
She never asked for forever-only a boy who would deliver her pastries every day, warm and waiting at her door.
But instead, she fell. Uncontrollably.
Cayden Kael-an undercover band vocalist, made of midnight chords and unfinished songs. Every strum of his guitar, every rise and fall of his voice, felt like a confession he never spoke aloud-as if loving her was already written into every note.
Then he left. No trace. No goodbye.
Only silence where his music once lived.
She stayed-with flour on her hands and courage growing quietly in her chest. She stayed when leaving would have been easier.
He once delivered pastries.
She delivered his child.
And love-love has a way of calling back, even through absence, even through time.
If only you stayed. . . maybe I could have believed in forever.
