A story about sitting in a French class in the 90s, half bored, half drifting, while a Celine Dion ballad plays and somehow takes over the whole room. In that moment it clicks how the story of love we were fed was really about erasing yourself, shrinking your needs, and reshaping yourself so a man might choose you. And suddenly it all feels a bit unhinged in hindsight.

A story about what happens after love ends. When you become either the one who stays too long (a scornie) or the one who leaves (a leavie). Heartbreak lives on both sides.
