Petals on the Playground

At eighteen, Cassandra steps into the corridors of nurse training, carrying pressed petals in her journal and the tremors of first love. Between lectures and long shifts, laughter and rivalry, she discovers that healing is not only a duty but a calling. Yet the playground of youth is shadowed by choices. Eliel’s pleading promises linger, while Evander’s fierce devotion threatens to overwhelm. Each corridor she walks becomes a threshold between innocence and adulthood, trust and jealousy, love and duty. Petals in the Playground is a story of beginnings: of fragile petals learning to bloom, of endurance born in silence, and of a young woman standing at the edge of her future.
