Invisible String - Pacey Witter

Invisible String - Pacey Witter
Daphne Leery, a disciplined ballerina and academic, believes love is a distraction after witnessing the messy relationships around her—from her parents' divorce to her brother Dawson's chaotic romances. But when an unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Pacey Witter challenges her carefully constructed world, she's forced to confront the invisible string that might tie them together, leading her down a path she never intended. Can she untangle her heart from the past and embrace a love she never thought possible?

“Yeah, I’m not that joyful about it either,” Jack added from behind us.
