Intro / character descriptions

> Some people arrive like a storm. Others like October-slow, beautiful, and impossible to forget.

Lila Avery is a quiet soul who thrives in the magic of fall, her world made of warm drinks, haunted bookshelves, and a heart too full of unspoken feelings.

Silas Callahan is a Marine on leave, carrying more than he lets anyone see-until a near-silent moment with a girl in a lavender scrunchie begins to unravel everything.

In the time between glances, near-misses, and almosts, something soft begins to grow.

A slow burn love story told in whispers and warmth.
