A Note Before the Journey
Dedication
For the girl who has been there since we were four years old.
For the friend who never needed grand gestures to show love, because sometimes the smallest handmade gifts carried the biggest pieces of the heart.
Thank you for reading my worlds before they ever had a chance to exist beyond my own imagination. Thank you for believing in my stories, even when they were only scattered thoughts and unfinished pages.
This book is for you, for all the years of friendship, kindness, laughter, and memories that shaped who I am.
May you always know how deeply you are loved.
