persephonilia
°☆Some love stories begin with a spark; this one began with a tear. For years, Serene carried the weight of a devastating loss, finding solace only in the shadows and the pages of books. She pushes everyone away, including Ezra, the boy who sees her, truly sees her, from the moment she closes the curtains against the sun on his tear-stained face.
But fate is a patient architect. Across high school halls, library tables, and even continents, Serene and Ezra are drawn together, their bond strengthened by shared pain and quiet compassion. With her best friend Roen's unconfessed love complicating every step, Serene must navigate the delicate boundary between a painful past and a hopeful future. This novel is a testament to the fact that the greatest love isn't always the one that finds you first, but the one that waits patiently for your heart to finally come home.~°○
