"To you, sweetheart—the one reading this with tired eyes and a heart heavy with things you never speak of. I know you've been hurt in ways words can't carry, I know you've been made to believe pain is the price of love. But it isn't. You deserved to be held without fear, to be loved without conditions, to be seen without hiding. If no one has ever told you, let me—none of what happened to you was your fault. And I hope, through these pages, you find a love that feels like safety, because you've earned it a thousand times over."
