I write the kind of stories that linger long after the last chapter. I have a soft spot for strawberries—they're sweet, vibrant, and a little nostalgic. But when it comes to drinks, I'll always choose vanilla: warm, comforting, and quietly timeless. I guess that's how I write, too. A touch of sweetness wrapped in slow-burn emotions, where ordinary moments become unforgettable and every chapter feels like coming home.
At seven years old, Ali made a promise to herself the moment she stepped onto the ice to keep getting back up, no matter how many times she fell.

But when one unexpected moment changes everything, Ali must face the hardest performance of her life: learning that some promises aren't about holding on... they're about knowing when to let go.
