Fake a happy marriage.

Blank pages turned into bad decisions.
One night.
One delicious mistake she can’t quite spit out.

Saltwater Echoes: The mind may forget but the soul doesn’t. (Whispers from the water Book 1) by Zuri N.
“They said our love would drown… but it learned to breathe underwater.”
I was never looking for him.
I was looking for peace. For healing.
For a reason to stay on a forgotten island that still remembers how to ache.
And then he came—
Not like a savior.
But like a question I’d been born trying to answer.
He said he just needed to breathe.
But the moment his eyes found mine,
I knew—
he had come here to remember something his soul forgot.
He was rich. Promised. Powerful.
And I was the girl who wore salt on her skin like prayer.
But between us—
there were no vows, only echoes.
No gold, only truth.
We loved fast. Deep.
Like we knew time would steal us.
And it did.
They tore him from me, rewrote his mind,
buried my name where memory can’t go.
He forgot me.
But I—I never stopped waiting.
Now, he walks this island again.
A stranger with my heartbeat in his chest.
He doesn’t remember our story.
But his hands still reach for me in dreams.
And maybe—
that is enough to begin again.
This isn’t just a love story.
It’s a resurrection.
Of hearts. Of islands. Of everything they tried to bury beneath the waves.
We are the salt.
We are the water.
We are the echo that will never die.
