CHAPTER 15: SHADOWS BEFORE THE STORM

  • 29 Sep, 2026

    She grew up being the heart of the family. Surrounded by love, chaos, teasing brothers, and a home that always felt warm. Until life started changing people. Slowly. Quietly. Painfully.

    When did I ever want that?

    At twenty-one, she had a plan. A new city. A new job. A fresh start. She was going to make the most of it this time. Become more confident. Try things she'd never tried before. Meet people. Build a life that felt like hers. Five years later, she would find herself standing in a very different place. Older. A little wiser. Maybe a little more tired. And surrounded by possibilities she once thought she wanted. Only now, she couldn't understand why she ever wanted them in the first place. When did I ever want that?
