Author's Note ✦

Hey, loves! 🤍

I'm not a professional author

.....just a teenager hopelessly obsessed with fictional worlds and emotionally complicated characters.

English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes along the way. I'm still learning, growing, and trying my best with every chapter I write.

This story is completely my own creation, written with a lot of love and late-night imagination.

I truly hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy creating it. And if you do, don't forget to vote, comment, or share your thoughts with me. Your support means more than you know.

And if there's ever something you

dislike or think could be improved, I'm always open to hearing your suggestions kindly.

Thank you for giving my story a chance. 🤍

With love,
