Author note and special thanks
The first draft and original version of this story was on Wattpad years ago. I got plagiarized and took everything down. Having my work stolen was absolutely devastating to me and it took me some time to find myself in the writing world again. When I picked this story back up, I decided there was so much more to it and started to rewrite. It's been slow going as in the last couple years I've been dealing with a chronic illness and I had a baby. Life happens. Every has their ups and downs.
I have no idea how posting online again is going to go. Especially in the disgusting madness of AI everywhere. But my dream is to simply share my stories with those who love them.
So here I am again. This time, on Inkitt as well! I hope this story gives you all the feels. Thank you for giving me a chance.
Needless to say... No part of this story was written or edited by AI. The cover was done by a follower/friend years ago. Everything here has been done imperfectly by human creativity. So excuse any mistakes you see that may have slipped past me or my best friend (and editor).
Special thanks to Tara, this wouldn't be possible without you. And "Iris's Garden", you ladies are the best.
