Shifting Horizons

I never expected to find myself tethered to a small coastal town, let alone running a quaint bookstore, but here I am-Lila, navigating life between the shelves, lost in stories that aren't mine. After losing someone I loved, I thought I could hide behind the pages of others' lives forever. But then she walked in-Mia, all vibrant energy and wild curls-stirring something in me I thought was long buried. Add in Tom, a man with a smile that could rival a storm, and suddenly, my quiet, predictable life feels anything but. Between impromptu book clubs, late-night coffees, and whispers of long-lost letters, I'm starting to wonder if maybe-just maybe-it's time to stop hiding behind stories and start writing my own. Can I really open my heart again? Or is the past too much to let go of? Let's see if life has other plans.
