Introduction
The rain fell on Seattle like a constant lament, a gray veil that enveloped the city in a melancholy embrace. For Maya, newly arrived in this land of heavy skies and cozy cafes, the rain was like a mirror of her own soul: cold, constant and lonely.
Fleeing a broken heart and seeking a fresh start amid the gray landscape of the city, Maya clung to photography like a castaway to a lifeline. Through the lens of her camera, she tried to find beauty in the melancholy of that new home, capturing the poetry that was hidden in the details of that rainy city.
On one of those days when the sun seemed like a distant memory, Maya literally bumped into Theo, a crime novel writer with a look as intense as the coffee he used to drink and a soul as enigmatic as the streets of Seattle.
The meeting, as casual as the rain itself, awakened something unexpected in both of them: a creative connection, a mutual curiosity and an undeniable attraction that not even the cloudy sky could overshadow.
From that moment on, the city became the setting for a love story that unfolded between cozy cafes, rainy streets and the incessant search for inspiration.
Get ready to get lost in the mysterious alleys of Seattle, embrace the warmth of cafes full of stories and fall in love with a love that, like rain, has the power to warm, flood and transform everything around it.
This is the story of Maya and Theo.
A story about the beauty that reveals itself in the details, about the strength of human connection and about the magic of finding love in the most unexpected places.
Just like a rainy day in Seattle.

Chapter 1: Gray in Monochrome
The rain welcomed me to Seattle like an old friend. Not the timid drizzle that sometimes ventured into San Francisco, but a dense, constant curtain of water that transformed the city into a blur of watercolors in shades of gray. It was as if the sky was crying, and I, in a way, identified with this melancholy.
Inside the taxi, I watched the tall buildings slide by through the fogged window. The yellowish streetlights seemed to struggle to pierce the fog, creating a scene that oscillated between the poetic and the oppressive. I hugged the backpack to my chest, feeling the weight of the camera I carried inside – my inseparable companion, my shield against the world.
The driver, a man with a tired face and a gray mustache, muttered something about the hellish traffic. I nodded, without really listening to him. My words were stuck somewhere between my throat and chest, blocked by the anguish that throbbed like a bruise.
I had left behind in San Francisco not just a failed relationship, but also my home, my studio, my life. Starting over at 28 wasn't exactly what I had planned. But life, like the incessant rain in Seattle, had a bad habit of ignoring our plans.
