The story seamlessly weaves heartfelt moments with romance, but I wonder what was the creative process behind this balance. Did the emotional scenes come first or the romance?

There was a shift in tempo that made me pause, but I also appreciated the deeper character development. Was this intentional to build emotional stakes?

The small-town vibe and natural scenery added so much atmosphere. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experience or research.
