The Sweetest Memory

The way memories shape the characters' present felt so poignant. I'm curious whether this theme was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The characters' decisions felt realistic but also made me question what I would do in their place. Did others find themselves empathizing more with one side than the other?

Balancing romance and suspense can be tricky, but it seemed to heighten the stakes. I wonder if the story's tension was something the author intended to blend throughout.
