Before it was Yours (The Pattern Series)

Something was always there.

Not hidden.

Not gone.

Just—unseen.

Amelia doesn’t remember when it started.

Only that things no longer move the way they should.

Patterns don’t pass.

Moments don’t end.

And the people around her—

know things they were never told.

At first, it feels small.

Easy to dismiss.

Easy to move past.

Until it isn’t.

Until the same details return in different places.

Until memory stops separating from the present.

Until control no longer looks like control.

And once she sees it—

she can’t unsee it.

Because this was never something that began.

It was always there.

Watching.

Shifting.

Waiting.

Before it was hers—

it was already something else.
