Dear Reader,

I've never been a writer before this. Honestly, I never thought I would be. But sometimes, life leaves you with emotions too big to keep inside, and for me, this book is my way of letting them out.

I'm 20, shy, and, to put it bluntly, I've had terrible luck with dating. I've been in love once, and while I want to experience that again, the truth is I'm not ready. Love is beautiful, but it can also be painful, and right now, I'm still healing.

This story is my escape, my way of exploring love, adventure, and the thrill of connection in a world I can control, even when real life feels uncertain.

So, please be kind. This is new for me, and I'm pouring a lot of myself into these pages. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do.
