But Beautiful

Marilyn Kerr, a small-town girl reeling from profound loss, seeks a fresh start in the bustling heart of Detroit. But when her new assistant job thrusts her into the orbit of the enigmatic and captivating CEO, Samuel Kennedy, her carefully constructed new life begins to unravel in ways she never imagined. Will she navigate the treacherous waters of professional boundaries and undeniable attraction, or will the city's glittering facade hide a storm she's not prepared for?

The last box was packed. Marilyn Kerr surveyed her childhood room, now stripped bare. The silence was thick, broken only by the distant hum of traffic from the street outside. She picked up the last item, a framed photo of her and her father, laughing, on her graduation day. A bittersweet ache settled in her chest.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" Her mother's voice, soft and concerned, drifted from the doorway. Marilyn nodded, carefully placing the photo into the blanketed box.

"I'm okay, mom." She walked over, wrapping her arms around her mother. "Thank you, for everything. Stay safe, and I'll call you when I get there, okay?"

"Okay, honey. Do you need help with the boxes?"

"If you don't mind."

Together, they loaded up her life, box by box, memory by memory, into the waiting moving truck. Each heavy lift was a step towards Detroit, towards Haley, towards a new beginning.
