*"Ended in Tears"* is a story of heartache, healing, and the unrelenting pull of a love that never truly fades. It's a journey through the complexities of relationships, the impact of time on the heart, and whether second chances are ever truly possible.
Emma Harper's favorite time of day was after class, when the campus slowly quieted down. The library, with its warm, familiar atmosphere, was her sanctuary. She'd linger there, sketching in her pad, lost in her thoughts. It was the one place she could truly feel at peace.
On one of these afternoons, Noah Carter appeared, walking toward her with the kind of casual confidence that immediately caught her attention. He paused when he saw her sketching. "Mind if I sit?"
Startled, Emma looked up, unsure but nodded. He had a way of easing into a room without making it feel awkward.
"What are you working on?" he asked, peering over her shoulder at her pad.
"Just a design project for class," she replied softly.
"You're a designer?" he asked, his tone genuinely curious.
Emma nodded. "Yeah, graphic design. Second year."
Noah smiled, pulling out his phone. "I'm a photographer. Check this out." He showed her a photo of an old, abandoned building, sunlight streaming through the cracks. The raw beauty of it surprised her.
"I'd love to collaborate someday," Noah said, his smile warm.
Emma hesitated, her mind racing. She wasn't sure, but something about him made her want to believe it was possible. "Maybe," she said, a small smile tugging at her lips.
