Love Once Written

Love Once Written
By T. Delaplain

Every morning, Ellie settles into her weathered rocking chair, pen poised, notebook open. For decades, she’s written sweeping romances from this porch – tales of first kisses, stolen glances, and love that defied time. Yet none of her imagined beaus ever matched the man who once courted and proposed to her right here, under the lilacs, fifty summers ago. He had brought her tea as needed but never stopped challenging her. Now, his chair sits empty. Still, on warm afternoons when words flow easily, it rocks ever so slightly—keeping rhythm with her pen, as if love, once written, never truly leaves the page, or the porch.
