The Stillness Between Heartbeats
Raelynn Kinsley was supposed to get married. It was meant to be the happiest day of her life. Instead, she walked out of her wedding and into a hospital room — Room 405 — where Kayden Greyson, her best friend, lay silent, trapped in a coma after a devastating accident.
As days blur into weeks, Raelynn loses pieces of herself. Confrontation, realisation and quiet acceptance are what keep her standing. Bit by bit, she begins to reclaim her strength — rebuilding the parts of her that cracked along the way.
Now, she keeps vigil at his bedside — reading to him, speaking softly into the stillness, holding onto a hope that feels as fragile as breath. Then, one quiet afternoon, Kayden opens his eyes.
But he doesn't remember her.
Now, caught between past and present, memory and loss, Raelynn must decide if love is something that survives forgetting — or something she’ll have to help him find all over again, one heartbeat at a time.
Spanning hospital rooms, college parks, and a quiet garden where time bends around pain, The Stillness Between Heartbeats is a tender story about the quiet love, memory and the long wait for a second chance.
