One moment we’re confidently ticking off to-do lists, and the next, we’re questioning every choice we've made, staring... -
Beautiful Beginnings : Chapter 12
Just Mine I used to think the story of us was the most beautiful thing I’d ever write. The laughter, the long talks, the teasing and tenderness—we built a world out of words and warmth. It felt safe, real, like something that could last. But sometimes, even the most magical stories come to an... -
