Your Pain Is My Misery ~ Jasper Hale

Violet Andrews carries a unique burden: with a mere touch, she experiences the profound pain of others. Their past miseries flood her mind, their heartaches become her own, leaving her suffocated by a darkness that clings to her like a shadow. To cope, she keeps everyone at a distance, finding solace only in solitude. But a new town, a new school, and an unexpected encounter with an enigmatic stranger named Alice begin to challenge everything Violet thought she knew about her curse. Can she finally find a connection that doesn't bring her to her knees, or is she doomed to a life of beautiful, yet agonizing, isolation?

The perpetually gray skies of Forks, Washington, hung low and heavy as Violet Andrews navigated her old, rusty teal jeep down a winding, overgrown track.

The house appeared through the dense trees, a small, forgotten cabin with broken shutters and chipped paint, tucked away in comforting solitude. A soft smile, a rare sight for Violet, touched her lips.

This was it. Her new beginning. Far from the suffocating pain of others, far from the life she'd fled. She pulled the key from her pocket, its cold metal a stark contrast to the warmth that bloomed in her chest. The door creaked open with a groan, a fitting welcome to her private sanctuary.

Inside, the air was still and cool, filled with the scent of old wood and damp earth. Violet dropped her bags, surveying her new domain. For the first time in a long time, the quiet hum of her own thoughts was the loudest thing she heard.
