Some stories begin long before anyone realizes they have started.
Sometimes, it is a sentence. Sometimes, it is a book left in the wrong place. Sometimes, it is a stranger sitting beside you at exactly the moment you need someone to say something you will remember for years.
And sometimes, it is a person.
Someone who walks into your life without making an entrance at all. No grand beginning. No warning. No reason to believe they will matter. You simply meet them.
Then, little by little, they become part of the things you remember. A conversation you replay without meaning to. A recommendation you keep longer than you should. A familiar voice you begin listening for. A name that starts appearing in your thoughts when there is no reason for it to be there.
You don't notice the change while it is happening.
That is the strange thing about beginnings. They rarely feel like beginnings. They feel ordinary. Until one day, you look back and realize that everything changed somewhere in the middle.
Maybe that is why endings are never really about where a story stops. They are about everything that came before. Every choice. Every almost. Every moment you could have walked away but didn't. And every person who made staying feel a little easier.
There are stories you write because you know how they should end. There are stories you write because you are still trying to understand how they began.
And then there are the stories that happen to you before you ever realize you are living one.
Those are the ones that stays.
Even when the pages are finished. Even when the last chapter has been written. Even when you thought you knew how the story would end.
Sometimes, the story has been waiting for you to turn the page.
