[LINA]
I was in my room, surrounded by the familiar comforts of a past I thought I'd lost forever. My heart raced as I realized what was happening.
I wasn't 34 anymore. I wasn't the broken woman mourning the loss of everyone I loved.
I was young again. Before the tragedy. Before the loss.
I don't know how it happened. At first, I thought it was just a dream, but it felt far too real to be an illusion.
This had to be a second chance—a chance to rewrite everything!
This time, I wouldn't let it happen. This time, I would save them all.
"Lina, are you up?"
The knock on my door startled me, but the voice on the other side froze me in place. It was a voice I never thought I'd hear again—a voice I'd mourned for years.
Cole's voice.
He was alive!
