A Love That Never Left
Three weeks before Christmas. Two people. One unfinished truth.
Twenty years ago, Ava Leigh Evans walked away from the love of her life, Ryder Hill, at the exact moment his music career was taking off. What Ryder never knew was that Ava was pregnant. Believing a child deserved stability more than a tour bus, Ava chose to build a quiet life in Franklin, Tennessee — raising her son Brady in a world of books, warmth, and safety.
Now, two decades later, Ryder returns to Franklin with his band Rogue Hill to open a permanent music hall. He isn't looking for Ava. He's looking for stillness. What he finds instead is the life he left behind — sitting right across the street.
At the heart of it all is a single song, written in pieces across generations, that finally finds its voice just in time for Christmas.
"Love remembered. Truth spoken. A family, finally home."
The Song That Waited
Brady, a gifted young pianist, is unknowingly pulled into his own history when he begins playing at the new Rogue Music Hall. Through music, he forms a natural bond with Ryder — long before either of them understands why it feels so right.
As Ava, Ryder, Brady, and Ava's sister Emily are slowly drawn into the same space, old truths begin to surface. The past doesn't come back with anger. It comes back with memory, melody, and the quiet realization that what was unfinished might still belong together.
A story about timing. About love that held on long enough to matter.
