Chapter 1: The Girl Who Was Too Much

Eira was always told she was too much.
Too emotional. Too soft. Too trusting.
Her family broke her spirit.
Her ex broke her body.
And the world made her believe she would never be enough for real love.

So she stopped believing in it.

Admitted to a cold, quiet hospital where silence hurt more than screams, Eira thought she was disappearing. Slowly. Quietly. Like a candle burning out in a locked room.

Then he walked in.

Kieran.
Tall, dark, mysterious. A stranger in black.
He didn't speak much. But when he looked at her, she felt seen.
He didn't ask for her story - he just stayed.

And somehow, in the space between their shadows,
something broken began to heal.

This is a story of pain, poetry, and slow, dangerous love.
Of a girl who gave too much.
And the boy who gave her the one thing no one ever had:

A reason to stay.
