She thought she’d filed him under ‘the one that got away.’
Then he walked back into her bookstore—with their past scribbled in the margins.
Priya Verma has built a quiet life of books and safety inside her indie shop, Dog-Eared & Darling. But when a dusty Rilke volume appears—with Lucian Bennett’s handwriting in the margins'''everything she thought she’d buried comes flooding back.Lucian, the boy she almost kissed under a rain-soaked sky, is now a literature professor—and her surprise guest reader at poetry night. As annotated pages, sticky notes, and long-lost letters surface, so do all the things she never said out loud.
Is it too late to rewrite their ending? Or is this their once-in-a-lifetime second chance?
Still Here is a slow-burn, second-chance standalone in the Unspoken Things series—where love isn’t lost in what we say…
It’s lost in what we don’t.
Marginal notes. Missed timing. A love that never fully left.
