Chapter 1: A New Dawn

At 66, Moni had led a full life. A life filled with the often tumultuous rhythm of raising children, running a pharmacy, and enduring the ache of lost love. Her husband, a man who once promised to cherish her forever, had left her for a younger woman years ago. His passing didn’t ripple Moni's calm exterior, but the long-lost love for Vincento Martini, a Sicilian waiter she met decades ago, remained etched in her heart.

Moni moved into a beautiful home to live out her years, away from the pharmacy now managed by her dedicated daughter, Tanja. The house was her sanctuary, a place where she could heal and reconnect with her dreams, buried under years of responsibility and the weight of unrequited love.
