Shattered Horizons

Have you ever felt like you're standing on the edge of your life, watching it unravel, and not knowing if you have the courage to step forward? That's me-Ava. After a painful breakup and a string of disappointments, I've returned to my sleepy hometown of Silver Creek to escape the chaos and, hopefully, rediscover myself. What I didn't expect was to find solace in the glowing warmth of a glassblowing studio, or to meet Elias-a brooding artist whose mysterious past mirrors my own hidden scars. With every piece of molten glass we shape together, I'm learning that creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin. But just when I think I'm finally healing, old ghosts come knocking, threatening to shatter the fragile balance I've built. Can I trust Elias, and myself, to embrace the beauty in the broken pieces, or will my fears pull me back into the darkness I've been trying to escape? The flames are hot, the stakes are high, and sometimes, the most breathtaking art comes from the deepest cracks.
