Prologue

Victoria dreamt of a love pure and bright, a love that bloomed eternally. But fate, a cruel comedian, trapped her in a perpetual July - the month her love story turned sour. Unable to move on, she clings to the remnants of a happiness that no longer exists, her heart a wilted rose, forever locked in a summer that never ends. As the days blur and the memories sting, Victoria must confront the suffocating grip of the past and choose: wither away in her July prison or find the strength to bloom anew.
