Close as the Distant Horizon

Introduction: In a quiet, peaceful town, Carmine Dunham lives a simple yet heartwarming life with her grandmother. Every inch of this place, every breath of air, is filled with their shared laughter and warm memories. However, the wheels of fate begin to turn, and unavoidable circumstances force Carmine to leave the beloved town where she grew up and start anew in an unfamiliar environment. At this critical turning point in her life, her grandmother’s advice becomes her guiding light. Following her grandmother’s wishes, Carmine quickly marries Cain Quigley, the grandson of her grandmother’s best friend. This should have been a time filled with sweetness and anticipation, but as soon as they receive their marriage certificate, Cain is called overseas for work, leaving Carmine to navigate newlywed life alone. The joy of marriage has barely bloomed in Carmine’s heart before it is overshadowed by loneliness and uncertainty. With no time to plan a future together, Carmine is left to face the ups and downs of life on her own. Without her husband’s support and companionship, she must be stronger and braver. Yet, Carmine is not defeated by her circumstances. With a glimmer of hope for the future, she strives to adapt to the sudden changes and courageously faces each challenge life throws her way. Although the road ahead is filled with uncertainty, she believes that as long as she holds on to the warmth and hope within her heart, a brighter tomorrow will eventually come.
