Author's Note

Love has always been a mystery to Marinette, causing her to fear it as well as crave it. She struggles with the complexity of emotions and depends on others to love her rather than seeking healing. But when a formal gentleman expresses interest in her, she is captured by his charm and finds herself dreaming of a love beyond her reach. Though they live in separate countries, their long-distance relationship blossoms and she dares to open her heart. But as their love grows deeper, so does the pain of their distance.
