A first love. A stolen future. A war that changed everything. On February 24th, Nadia’s world shatters as war engulfs her city. What was supposed to be a normal day—school, stolen glances at Ivan, laughter with friends—turns into chaos when explosions tear through the silence. Forced to flee, Nadia clings to the fragments of her past—her mother’s voice, Ivan’s hand, the unspoken promises of a future that may never come.
