Dear reader,
I want to take a moment to apologize for the emotional weight this story has placed on you. When I began writing, my goal was to create something meaningful, layered with depth and humanity. What I hadn't fully anticipated was how deeply it might resonate with you, or how much it might hurt at times.
The truth is, I never wanted to cause pain. I wanted to explore vulnerability, survival, and the ways people hold each other together through impossible moments. But in doing so, I know l've also brought you scenes that are heavy, raw, and at times overwhelming. That was never meant to leave scars in you, only to reflect the scars my characters carry.
I respect the trust you've given me as a reader, and I don't take it lightly. If this story has left you struggling, I am truly sorry. Please know that my intention is always to honor resilience and connection, even through heartbreak.
Thank you for walking with me through this. Your heart matters to me, and I will continue to write with greater care, knowing how deeply words can reach.
With gratitude and apology,
