Chapter 19-The Day That Felt Like Ours
This is the soft aftermath—the days that feel like stolen light
Aubrey and Noah find rhythm.
A routine.
Real love in small things.
Coffee in bed.
Brushes dipped in paint.
Quiet glances that say stay even when no one's leaving.
But peace doesn't last forever.
Because one phone call will snap it like a cracked bone.
