Thank you for every read, every vote, every comment, every tear, every late-night binge, and every emotion you allowed this story to awaken within you. Whether you've been here since the very first chapter or found this story only recently, thank you for choosing to stay until the very end.
And for that ending...I'm sorry, I know many of you were hoping for a different fate. I know you wished Allison and Alesya would grow old together, that all the pain they endured would finally lead them to the peaceful life they deserved.
But not every story is destined to end with forever. Some stories are meant to remind us that love is not measured by how long it lasts, but by how deeply it changes the people who carry it. Some endings leave us with unanswered prayers, lingering grief, and memories that refuse to fade.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones that leave a scar instead of a smile. If this story made you cry, I hope it also reminded you to hold your loved ones a little closer, to cherish every ordinary moment, and to never leave words of love unspoken.
Although Allison's story has reached its final page, this universe is far from over. Would you be willing to take another journey with Lucienne?
This time, you'll witness her fulfill the promise she once made to Allison—a promise born from love, loyalty, and a friendship that even death could never erase. Through her eyes, you'll also uncover fragments of Alesya's life after Allison's passing: the unbearable silence she learned to live with, the memories she refused to let go of, and the love that continued to exist even after the person she loved was gone.
Thank you for trusting me with your hearts. Thank you for loving these characters as if they were real. Thank you for allowing their story to become a small chapter in your own life.
This isn't the end.
It's simply another beginning.
With all my love,
