If you've read this far, you've gotten a glimpse of the walls Damien has built—and the ways Anne might be chipping away at them.

Thank you for following along and letting me share their story with you. There's so much more to come, and I hope you'll stay for all the moments—messy, tender, and everything in between.

If you're enjoying the story so far and feel like supporting me, a little tip would go a long way to keeping the real sugar Coca-Cola popping. Find me on Ko-fi.com/IsobelDeLassere.

And of course, sharing with someone you think might like this the world of Anne, Damien and Erik means… well, the world.

But no pressure—just having you here means everything. No matter what, thank you for being part of their story. After all this time, it's amazing (and scary) to let people get to know them too.

Love,

Isobel
