Author's Note

This story was born from a dream I had—one that stayed with me long after I woke up.

So I turned that dream into this story.

In the dream, there was a person standing in the middle of the road, crying for someone who couldn't be saved. And in the distance, a shadow was watching her. It felt real. Heavy. Like it was meant to be more than just a dream.

That moment became the heart of this story.

Clove's journey is a mix of grief, love, family secrets, and the darkness we all carry but rarely speak of. I wrote it through the eyes of someone who doesn't always have the right words in English—but still feels deeply.

Thank you for being here. I hope this story finds you the same way it found me.
