Prologue
Before the silence, there was laughter.
Before the space between them grew, there was warmth, inside jokes, and promises whispered in the dark.
Ife and Tayo weren’t extraordinary people — just two souls who met at the right time, believing love would be enough to hold everything together.

She was wild-hearted, full of color and emotion, a storm he never wanted to escape.
Their love was the kind that made ordinary days feel golden until life started to ask for more than love alone could give.
And in trying to build the future they once dreamed of, they slowly forgot how to stay present with each other.
Neither of them knew that sometimes, love doesn’t leave.
It just waits for two hearts to find their way back.
