"I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky." - Virginia Woolf

Blurb | Synopsis:
Love is in the air── it has always been── since the day Amaya came into Rae's life, and it has only grown stronger over the years as their boundaries as friends grew some wiggle room.

Despite her feelings, Rae has never allowed herself to entertain the idea of breaking the boundaries altogether and turning their relationship into something more, but when a determined Amaya confesses her romantic intentions, will Rae embrace it or find a way to keep herself grounded?

Author's Note:
Thank you for checking out this novella! If you decide to continue, please keep in mind as you read that this is a draft + English is my second language. If there are any typos, grammar issues, and/or if there's any constructive feedback that you would like to provide, feel free to comment about them throughout the novella, as well as your thoughts in general. I would love to hear from you!

I dedicate this novella to the side of my mother that restrains her from all she wants in life, not out of love nor appreciation. May it one day leave and never come back.
