This book is dedicated to every quiet heart that ever carried love unspoken, and to every soul that found strength in patience.

To those who believe love isn’t always about grand gestures, but about the silent devotion that grows with time—this is for you.

It is also for the dreamers who write love stories in their heads, for the readers who lose themselves in fictional worlds, and for the believers who know that sometimes love is hidden behind responsibility, duty, and unspoken emotions.

And above all, this book is dedicated to you—my readers. Without you, these words would never breathe, these characters would never come alive, and these stories would never find a home. You are the reason I continue to write, the reason I believe that every story matters.

May this story remind you that love has many shapes, and sometimes the most beautiful ones are the quietest.
