Chapter 13: Unread Lines.

Thank you for reading Chapter 13! 🎉 Slipping that letter right into the vinyl booth crease without opening it? POWER MOVE! 🚪✉️💥Watching Ava actively choose her present over four years of lingering obligation was hands-down the most empowering moment of the story so far. Old Ava would have read every single word, dissected it, and spent days feeling guilty. New Ava? She looked Ethan’s desperation right in the eye, set her boundaries, and chose the guy who has been silently anchoring her all along.And Liam’s look of pure, unfiltered relief when he realized she wasn't going to look back? My heart completely melted. 🥹❤️The ghost of Ethan is officially where it belongs—in the dark gap between the vinyl seats!How hyped were you when Ava tucked that note away unread? Do you think Ethan will finally take the hint, or will he find another way to disrupt their peace? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, hit that vote button for Ava choosing herself, and stay tuned for Chapter 14!
