Her growing suspicion turns into disbelief—could Nathaniel really be part of her destiny?

And if so, what's the cost of such love?Chapter 1: The Pocket Watch

Lily Monroe ran her fingers across the dusty display case, wiping away the years of neglect that had accumulated over the decades. The small local museum in her sleepy town wasn't exactly a bustling hotspot for tourists, but to Lily, it was a sanctuary. She had always been fascinated by history—the way objects from the past told silent stories, waiting to be discovered. Today, the museum was quieter than usual. The exhibits felt like they were waiting for something... or someone.

It was near closing time when she spotted it—an old wooden box tucked beneath a pile of forgotten artifacts. The box was unremarkable at first glance, but something about it called to her. With a curious frown, she carefully lifted the lid.

Inside was a tarnished pocket watch, its gold chain slightly bent but still attached. Its face was cracked, and the hands were frozen in time. But the moment Lily touched it, a strange warmth spread through her fingertips. Almost instinctively, she clicked the watch open.
