Before you begin reading this story, I want to share something personal.
Smash & Swing is not just a story I imagined. In many ways, it was inspired by someone who once meant the world to me.
There was a time in my life when I loved someone deeply and sincerely. The kind of love that quietly grows without you noticing at first-through small moments, shared glances, conversations that lasted longer than they should, and memories that somehow stay with you even after everything changes.
Just like Alina and Gabriel, we were two different people living our own lives. We had our own dreams, our own paths, and our own worlds. But somehow, for a while, those worlds crossed. And when they did, the feelings were real-simple, genuine, and unforgettable.
This story carries pieces of those memories. The excitement, the silence, the nervous conversations, the moments of happiness, and even the bittersweet feeling of looking back.
I wrote this not only as a story of young love, but also as a way to remember someone who once made my heart feel lighter just by being there.
To my greatest, my first and last love, Gab - this ones for you, thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the feelings that helped create these pages.
And to the readers who are about to enter Alina and Gabriel's world, I hope you find something here that reminds you of a moment, a person, or a feeling you once held close.
With love,
-The Author
