Prologue

In the heart of Willow Creek, nestled between rolling hills and

quiet streets lined with memories, a love story was born—a love

that time tried to steal, that distance could never sever, and that

life, in all its twists and turns, could never truly end.

Amelia Carter never thought she'd return to the small town she had

left behind so many years ago. A journalist now, she had built a life

far from the places and people that once shaped her, choosing

ambition over sentiment and security over risk.
