She delivers letters. He writes music. Neither knows their words are crossing decades.Grace Fletcher carries mail through the quiet English town of Thornfield, trying to fill the silence left by the daughter she lost. But when she begins delivering letters addressed to a reclusive composer-letters humming with impossible music only she can hear-Grace realizes something impossible: Thomas Ashford isn't writing to her from now.He's writing from years ahead.Both grieving a child, both living half-lives, their correspondence becomes a fragile lifeline-one that bends time itself. Through their letters, Grace and Thomas share memories, secrets, and the kind of tenderness neither thought they deserved again.But there are rules to their connection.And one rule above all: If they ever meet too soon, the fragile thread between them may break-along with the future that kept them alive.A quiet, intimate story about grief, connection, and two strangers finding each other across time, Before We Loved is perfect for readers of The Time Traveler's Wife (the emotional echo, not the complexity), The Midnight Library, and deeply human slow-burn speculative romance.A love story written tomorrow. Delivered today. Remembered forever.
