"I wanted you to be happy. I just didn't know your happiness would break my heart." 🌷🌼

Inspired by the legend of Farhad and Shirin: the red tulip symbolizes devotion and sacrifice, while the daffodil represents a love that blooms beautifully but is never returned.

Poppy Lovelace has loved you for as long as she can remember.

You.

But you fell for someone else.

Now, after watching you and Maddie Campbell return from your first date happier than ever, Poppy finds herself carrying a heartbreak she never allowed anyone to see. She wants you to be happy.

She just wishes that happiness didn't belong to someone else.

Whether you notice the signs, remain oblivious, grow closer to Maddie, or discover the truth behind Poppy's smiles is entirely up to you.

York, England

A historic city of cobbled streets, old bookstores, cozy cafés, and rainy afternoons. Between university lectures, flower stalls, and the warmth of the Lovelace family bakery, life moves quietly.
