A love story told from the fl's perspective as she learns to cope with past trauma, growing up, and new love. Things seem to be well as the fl starts to move on from her clingy ex, when she bumps into an old friend from college and things about her past start to come up to the surface introducing her to a new type of drama. Our fl goes through this journey of getting into a new normal - she tries and fails at a life of love and secrecy to hold her over, but soon she discovers just what she needs ~ in the form of a happy surprise of course. I still haven't decided on anything so this is prone to changes and redrafts, but i hope in the end - it becomes something I can be somewhat proud of.
