THE SNOW LINE

In the small winter town of Harthollow, Lena has built a life that looks calm from the outside: a warm little bookshop, predictable days, and rules that keep her safe—especially the quiet one: don't need anything from anyone.

Then a thin white line appears across her shop window. It won't wash off. It shifts—only when someone tells the truth.

Theo arrives with ink-stained hands and a talent for restoring old letters. When he discovers a century-old envelope sealed with the same star that marks Lena's mystery, the line becomes more than an oddity—it becomes a boundary the town itself seems to guard.

As Lena continues therapy, she starts to recognize the invisible lines she's lived behind for years: where she minimized herself, where she stayed too long, where "fine" became a habit. Theo isn't a rescue. He's a mirror—gentle, steady, and just as afraid of being trapped by grief as Lena is of being trapped by love.

When the town's winter festival freezes in place and the snow line appears in the air like a border between what people show and what they refuse to admit, Lena and Theo must choose: step back into safety, or step forward into honesty—slowly, deliberately, and together.

A tender small-town romance with a touch of magical realism and grounded, adult emotional growth—where healing isn't a twist ending, but a brave, ongoing choice.
