  In small towns, secrets are as rare as glowing stars; everyone knows everything because they see everything. Everyone said that in Ivyblue Creek, a small town perched on a chilly mountaintop, offering breathtaking views of the mysterious lands below. Every other night, after the sunset and the day's labor faded, the warm glow of Emma's Diner became the light for the townsfolk. Inside, the air was filled with the aroma of home-cooked meals and the laughter that mingled with heartfelt conversations. It was a cozy haven where dreams were...
