🌸 Margaret “Maggie” Hughes

Widowed, quietly proud, and still wearing perfume every day "just in case," Maggie has spent her first months at Rosewood Pines Care Home in silence. She misses her garden. Her privacy. Her old records. What she doesn’t expect is him.

The boy who stole her first kiss behind the school shed in 1953.

The one who never wrote back.

The one she never forgot.

🎩 Albert “Bertie” Collins

A retired piano tuner with a sharp sense of humour and a drawer full of postcards he never had the courage to send. Bertie doesn’t believe in fate—but when he’s moved into Rosewood Pines and sees Maggie, something in him sparks back to life.

Only… she doesn’t recognise him at first.

And when she does, she’s not sure she wants to remember.

🕰️ A Lifetime Between Them

They were sweethearts once—young, shy, inseparable. But life swept them in different directions: careers, marriages, children, loss.

Now, decades later, they find themselves under the same roof again. And as the days pass, their connection rekindles over:

• 🎹 Late-night singalongs in the activity room

• ☕ Whispered confessions over tea and custard creams

• 💌 An old love letter Bertie never had the nerve to deliver... until now

But time has changed them. Their bodies are slower. Their memories falter. Some days are clearer than others. Yet when they look at each other, they see everything that ever was—and could still be.

💫 Can love remembered be love reborn?

💋 Or are some kisses meant to stay forgotten?
