Prepare to witness the delicate architecture of two hearts, once intertwined with fervent promises whispered in the hushed intimacy of shared dreams, now fractured into jagged, irreparable pieces.

Happily ever after, that fairytale promise we cling to, has crumbled into a desolate landscape of ashes. Or has it? Perhaps within such ashes, a different kind of strength, a resilient ember of self-discovery, might flicker to life.
