Chapter 29

This chapter was one of the hardest to write and probably one of the most painful I’ve ever shared. Francis and Larissa’s journey was built on dreams, excitement, and love... only to be shattered in a moment they never expected. Loss doesn’t always come with warning signs. Sometimes, it arrives with silence, with blood, with a s****m in the bathroom. And sometimes, healing begins not with strength, but with surrender. If you’ve ever lost something or someone you loved deeply, this chapter is for you. I see you. I feel you. And like Larissa and Francis, you’re not alone. Their story doesn’t end here. It’s only the beginning of another kind of love one that fights to breathe again even when it hurts. Thank you for holding their hearts gently in your hands.– Anne Author
