"What do you do when the ghost who broke your heart learns how to breathe again?"
Four years. That's how long I bled my energy dry trying to save Alex, a man who mistook emotional intimacy for a cage. When he walked out, he took my peace with him.
It took a year of tears, late-night writing under @letters_after_the_ghost, and a sudden six-week sabbatical to Portugal to piece myself back together. On the wild cliffs of Sagres, surrounded by ocean air and clay workshops, I finally found her: the woman I was meant to be.
Until the universe threw the ultimate monkey wrench into my healing.
In a tiny fishing village thousands of miles from home, I ran right back into Alex. Except he isn't the distant, anxious boy who wrecked me. He's calm. He's reformed. And he's looking at me like I'm his second chance at destiny.
Back home, Noah offers the quiet, unshakeable sanctuary I've always deserved. But with the electric pull of the past reigniting on coastal cliffs, I'm left standing on the edge of a choice:
Do I step back into the past, step forward into safety, or prove that I am the only sanctuary I will ever need?
