And finally to five-year-old Mon—we did it, kid. Those words scribbled against blank pieces of paper became chapters bound between covers. All those hours spent daydreaming weren't wasted after all. Thank you for never leaving my side, for being that persistent voice in my head that wouldn't let me forget our promise. For all the times you whispered "remember me" when adult life threatened to drown out your voice. I hope the story we've told makes you proud.

This one's for you—the little girl who never stopped believing in magic, even when the world tried to tell her otherwise. I hear you now, louder than ever.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Monique Medved is an Australian emerging author who's busy making her mark on the contemporary romance scene—one swoony meet-cute at a time. She writes stories with emotional depth about following your gut and figuring life out along the way (spoiler alert: she's still very much figuring it out herself). Her books will more than likely have you crying on public transport, so consider yourself warned.
