Where Shadows Linger

Coming back to Oakridge wasn't part of the plan. But neither was unraveling the life I've built while searching for pieces of myself I lost along the way. This small town holds secrets—some are the kind that haunt you, and some are wrapped in familiar faces you never thought you'd see again. Like Ethan. The boy who knew all my dreams, my fears, my heart. But that was years ago, and we've both changed. Haven't we? Now, as I navigate old wounds and unexpected reunions, I'm faced with questions I'm not ready to answer. Can you really come home again? Or are some doors better left closed? As the lines between the past and present blur, I'm forced to decide if I'm ready to face the truth about where I belong—or if I'll continue running from the shadows I can't seem to shake. Love, loss, and the unraveling of old memories collide in a story about finding yourself amidst the ghosts of who you used to be.
