Author’s Note
Before anything else, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. To the first few readers who found this story — you have no idea how much it means to me. Even if it’s just a handful of views, to me it’s not just numbers, it’s people. Real people who gave my words a chance. That’s so, so special to me. Thank you for being here at the very beginning of this journey. I hope you’ll stay with me as the story unfold.
