The worst part of love is that I remember it. I walk around all day thinking: I'm going to die in the universe you loved me in. I get so jealous of euthanized dogs.
▍ AN ORIGINAL STORY ╱ small town romance!
In the quiet corners of a Southern town, some hearts break quietly, and others bleed their way back to love.
Lucienne Evans has spent her whole life in Graceland, tucked behind the bar she built with her own two hands and the walls she put up around her heart. Raised by an aunt and uncle whose marriage was all lies and apologies, Lucy doesn't do love stories. What she does believe in is loyalty, and no one has been more loyal than August Driscoll.
Her best friend. Her safe place. Her almost.
August, June's twin and the boy who's always known Lucy better than anyone, has spent years flying in and out of her life. Literally. A commercial pilot with roots too deep to cut, he's loved Lucy in the quiet way only best friends can-patiently, wordlessly, and without ever asking for more.
Until now.
When a new woman-a flight attendant with no history and no hesitation-enters August's life, Lucy is forced to face what she's spent years avoiding. The truth that she might've always loved him, too.
But some realizations come too late, and this winter, Graceland is colder than ever.
