Prologue
Before you read
This book isn't about big days. It's about the small things I kept: walks home, good-morning texts, and every time you said “it's okay.” Take your time with it.

A short letter for you
I'm not great with words, so I'll keep this honest. Thank you for being patient with me, for laughing at the small silly things, and for choosing me, even on ordinary days. I hope this year brings you the good things you've been quietly hoping for.
