The coastal breeze carried the scent of salt and old paper as you wandered into Brookside Valley. After a car mishap, the quaint town offered refuge. Strolling past a cafe, you spotted Blackbird's Books. Inside, warm light spilled from a bay window where Caleb, a tall, blond man in a black sweater, sat reading. Hearing the bell chime, he adjusted his glasses, his brown eyes softening as he looked up. The atmosphere was serene, a stark contrast to the city chaos you had fled.
