I'll Say It Now.

Blurb

They’ve loved each other for eighteen years.

Neither of them has ever said, “I love you.”

Liis and Ren have been each other’s person since they were children.

At fifteen, Liis left home to chase an impossible dream.

She asked Ren to wait for her.

He promised he would.

Nine years later, Liis finally comes home as one of the world’s most successful supermodels.

Ren is still waiting.

Neither of them moved on.

Neither of them stopped loving the other.

They never needed to say it.

Liis still wears the silver ring they shared and the pendant Ren gave her as a child. She still remembers the clothes he likes, the way he prefers her hair, and all the little things that matter to him.

Ren has spent nine years keeping his promise in all the ways that matter.

Their families know.

Everyone around them knows.

Liis and Ren know.

For eighteen years, actions have always said what words never had to.

Now, for the first time in nine years, they’re together again.

No distance.

No waiting.

Nothing standing between them and the future they’ve always imagined.

Then Liis says something Ren was never supposed to hear.

“He means nothing to me.”

Ren hears every word.

And suddenly, eighteen years of understanding each other without saying I love you isn’t enough.

He pulls away.

Liis realizes that all the promises, memories, and years of loving him cannot take back the words she actually said.

For the first time, showing Ren how she feels isn’t enough.

If Liis wants the man she has loved almost her entire life, she will finally have to put their love into words.

She’ll say it now.
