Some loves burn slow.Others burn bright.Theirs burned through the seasons - until there was nothing left but winter.When Adrian first sees Elena, it's in the blur of a rain-washed street. She is laughter in the quiet, warmth in the cold, and the kind of beauty that lingers in the mind long after the moment has passed. Drawn together by chance encounters and the pull of something neither can name, they fall into a love that feels infinite.But life, as they soon learn, is rarely infinite.As autumn fades and the first frost arrives, Elena's quiet strength begins to falter. The days grow shorter, the nights colder, and the reality of what they cannot stop begins to shadow every heartbeat.Set against the turning seasons of the city, When the Seasons Could Not Wait is a tender and devastating story of two souls finding each other too late - and learning that even love touched by tragedy can leave a warmth that outlives the winter.For anyone who has ever loved fiercely, lost deeply, and carried that love forward - this is your story.
