🌊 A quiet Victorian seaside village. A widow in her late thirties. A man who has returned to the cliffs after years at sea. Two people learning, slowly, to trust warmth again. In a small Cornish fishing village in eighteen ninety-four, Eleanor Whitfield lives a careful, solitary life. Her daughter has just married and gone. The cottage is quiet. The cliff path is the same every morning. Then one November afternoon, a stranger helps her home through the rain, and the small rhythms of her days begin to shift. Over cups of tea, walks along the harbor wall, and evenings by a small fire, two people who have each been alone for a long time learn to speak again. There is no grand declaration. There is no rush. There is only the slow, careful arrival of tenderness, and the discovery that tomorrow can hold more than one ever thought it would.
