Description
Olivia Hart once dreamed of writing love stories. But after the sudden loss of her younger brother Liam, the words dried up, and so did the life she thought she was building. Now she pours coffee in a small London café, observing the world instead of participating in it. Until one quiet man becomes the only constant in her morning routine. Ethan Carter is precise, composed, always arriving at the same time each day. A black coffee. A polite nod. Nothing more. But behind his silence lies a grief he can't name, and a story he's not ready to tell. When Ethan vanishes without a word, Olivia feels the absence more than she expected. And when he returns with an invitation to a town she's never been to , but whose name pulls at something deep inside her, she agrees to go. In the hills of the English countryside, where the seasons change slowly and the hours stretch longer, Olivia begins to unearth fragments of a past she never knew was hers. A town her brother once loved. A cause quietly carried forward by someone Ethan once lost. A letter that was never meant to be read. As memories, grief, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Olivia and Ethan find themselves caught in a web of invisible threads. Connecting lives, losses, and the love that lingers in the spaces between. Sometimes, healing begins between the hours we never name.
