For Violet Harrington and Ethan Sinclair, love was never meant to be easy. They met in the most unexpected way, two lost souls drawn to each other in the midst of their own struggles. She was a dreamer, an artist who painted to escape reality; he was a realist, a man carrying burdens too heavy for his young heart. Their love was soft, fleeting, like the first snowfall of the year, beautiful but destined to melt away. When fate pulls them apart due to circumstances beyond their control, they always thought, "If we are meant to be, we will find each other again." Years pass. Life moves forward. Violet finds success but never truly forgets the boy who once made her heart race. Ethan, lost in his own battles, wonders if the universe will ever give them another chance. One day, they meet again, but not in the way they imagined. Violet’s heart still carries the echoes of the past, while Ethan is no longer the boy she remembers. They are different people now, shaped by time and pain. But the moment their eyes meet, the love they buried comes rushing back. Do they fight against destiny and rewrite their fate? Or is their love meant to remain a beautiful memory, a story that lives on in the spaces between goodbye and forever?

I‘ll try to publish at least 2 chapters a week, probably more. The first story arc is pretty much mapped out. Should be around 150 or 160 chapters for the first volume (it’s taking much longer than I expected) and the second one is nearly finished as well. Try it, it should be one hell of a ride. One more thing: the first two chapters are more or less a prologue and if you want to, you can skip them, I wouldn’t recommend it, though. The writing style as well as the perspective shifts dramatically, afterwards. As for trigger warnings: it’s going to get gory from time to time, and the MC often has to pay a toll in blood. Additionally there are -mildly- sexualised scenes, once in a while, but nothing graphic. Lastly, somewhen webnovel changed the description box from female lead to female oriented. It’s mandatory and I can’t change it either way but I have no clue if the book is catering male or female preferences. I hope the description above makes up for whatever confusion it might cause.
