...................

Dedicated to the younger version of me.

The one who dreamed of escaping.

The one who believed there had to be more waiting beyond fear.

The one who wanted to be seen, understood, and loved without having to become someone else first.

This book is proof that sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is leave behind the life everyone expects and chase the life their heart desires.

And to every reader who chose His Runaway Queen—

Thank you for taking this journey with me.

A piece of my heart lives in these pages, and now a piece of this story belongs to you.

With love, always,
Vidisha
