Before the Truth Breaks

McKenna thought she knew who she was.

She knew the boy she loved-Jonah Miller. She knew the life she was building with him.

And she knew the quiet certainty that some things in life were finally right.

But love has a way of pulling hidden truths into the light.

What starts as laughter, stolen moments, and a surprise trip to California slowly begins to shift into something heavier-something neither of them can name.

Because behind closed doors, adults are making decisions.

Silences stretch longer than they should.
And a truth no one is ready to say out loud is getting closer every day.

Then it happens.

A single revelation that fractures everything she believed about her past, her family, and herself.

Suddenly, nothing feels real-not her memories, not her place in the world, not even the love she thought could survive anything.
And the hardest part?
Jonah is still there.
Still the boy she loves.
Still the one person who feels like home.
Even as everything else falls apart.

Now McKenna has to face a truth she never asked for... and decide if love can survive when the foundation it was built on no longer exists.

Because some endings don't come with closure.

They come with truth.
