Chapter 1 The Meeting
The scent of salt and pine mingled in the air as Isla Morgan stepped off the train, her leather suitcase in hand. The town of Havenbrook seemed untouched by time-a postcard-perfect haven far from the chaos she had left behind. She drew in a deep breath, allowing the tranquillity to seep into her frayed nerves.
The cobblestone streets stretched before her, lined with quaint bookshops, artisanal cafés, and brightly painted cottages. It was everything she needed: peace, anonymity, and inspiration.
The local inn, Haven's Rest, was just as charming as the brochures promised. She checked in, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and trepidation. This was her chance to begin again.
By late afternoon, Isla found herself wandering into the town square, where a small photography exhibition had drawn a modest crowd. She wasn't sure why she stayed-maybe it was the striking black-and-white photograph of a stormy sea that caught her attention.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" a deep voice interrupted her thoughts.
Startled, she turned to find a tall man standing beside her. His dark curls framed a face that seemed effortlessly handsome yet marked by a hint of melancholy.
"It is," Isla replied, her voice soft. "The sea feels alive, as if it's speaking."
The man smiled. "That's exactly what I was trying to capture."
Her eyebrows shot up. "You're the photographer?"
"Caleb Whitmore," he said, extending a hand.
"Isla Morgan," she replied, shaking it. A spark flickered at the touch, fleeting yet undeniable.
They spoke for a while, exchanging thoughts about art, creativity, and the small joys of life. For the first time in years, Isla felt a flicker of hope, as if this town-and this stranger-might hold the answers she was searching for.
