Daphne's new story began with a painful realization - she was finally alone, stranded in Waning Bay, Michigan, with no one to turn to but herself. She had left behind her fiancé, Peter, and the comfort of her past life to start anew, but the adjustment was far from easy. With a job as a children's librarian that barely covered her bills, Daphne felt a little lost and uncertain about her future. She had a chance to reconnect with her childhood best friend, Petra, but their paths had diverged over the years, and Daphne wasn't sure if they would be able to reconnect.
Daphne's new roommates, Petra and her ex-fiancé, Miles, were a study in contrasts. Miles was charming, butcxarious, with a quick wit and a passion for music that Daphne couldn't help but admire. Despite their differences, the three of them formed an unlikely bond, bonding over their shared love of music and their struggles with life's challenges. As they spent more time together, Daphne found herself opening up to Miles in ways she never had before, but she was determined not to let her feelings get the better of her. After all, she had just gotten out of a long-term relationship, and Miles was off-limits, or so she thought.
As Daphne navigated her new life in Waning Bay, she found herself at odds with her own emotions. On the surface, she presented a tidy, organized persona, but beneath the surface, she was struggling to come to terms with her feelings. She was torn between her desire to move on with her life and her growing attraction to Miles. As the months turned into years, Daphne found herself caught in a beautiful struggle between two people who seemed to be perfect for each other, yet couldn't possibly be together.
