You weren’t meant to stay. Sent away from the life you knew, to a quiet town that never asked for you, you find yourself trapped between expectations and something you refuse to feel. Then there’s him. The farmer’s son. Too warm. Too patient. Too persistent. He looks at you like you belong here. You don’t. No matter how many times he tries, no matter how gently he speaks, no matter how much he cares— You push him away. Because people like him don’t fall for people like you. And people like you don’t stay. …right?
