The Moment It All Fell Apart

Every soul-crushing romance has that moment—the one where everything shatters.

The letter that’s never read.

The airport goodbye.

The lie that ruins everything.

The silence that says more than words ever could.

As readers, we live for that agony. The heartbreak that makes us feel. The kind that aches in your chest and makes you whisper, “No… no… no…” as you frantically flip to the next chapter, praying it gets fixed.

One that destroyed me? When Atlas walks away from Lily in It Ends with Us. That moment? Brutal.

And in my own writing? I’ll just say this—a vineyard. A misunderstanding. And a girl who thinks she was never enough. (Wrong Number fans, you know.)
