From Dustin Thao comes a heartbreaking and beautifully written story about love, loss, and the difficulty of letting go.

Julie Clarke’s life is turned upside down when her boyfriend, Sam, suddenly dies. Overwhelmed with grief, she tries to move forward—avoiding memories, plans, and anything that reminds her of him.

Desperate to hear his voice one more time, she calls his phone… just to listen to his voicemail.

But Sam answers.

What follows is an impossible connection—one that allows Julie to hold onto the person she lost, even as reality continues to pull her forward. As their conversations continue, she’s faced with an emotional choice: keep holding on to what she’s lost… or find the strength to let go.

Tender, emotional, and deeply moving, this story explores grief, healing, and the enduring impact of first love.
