Chapter one: The beginning of the end

Some stories stay with you. This one nearly swallowed me.

Post-lockdown, she meets a man who enters her life like a whisper-soft at first, then loud enough to drown everything else.

What follows is a story of chaos and calm, of falling too fast and learning the hard way. It's about love, but also about becoming. About the people we meet, the versions of ourselves we lose, and the courage it takes to unlearn everything we thought made us whole.

Read if you've ever felt undone by someone and found yourself in the aftermath.
