Fading Promises

Coming back to Hartsville was supposed to be a quick trip—a nostalgic visit to the place I used to call home. But the moment I set foot in that creaky old schoolhouse, memories came rushing back like a tidal wave. And then there's Jack, the boy who made me believe in forever, now a man with a past as tangled as mine. His daughter looks at me with curious eyes, and suddenly, I'm swept back into a world of laughter, heartbreak, and unfinished conversations. The town whispers of second chances, but can we really pick up the pieces when our hearts are still broken? If life's taught me anything, it's that the past never stays where you left it. But maybe, just maybe, we can find a new melody among the wreckage. I never thought I'd be standing at the crossroads of what was and what could be—but here I am, with Jack by my side and the weight of unspoken promises between us. So, what now?
