Three Taps for Goodnight

Some love stories transcend time. Some defy reality itself.

When twenty-year-old Kathy moves into her college dorm, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with the boy next door.

Jack is quiet, old-fashioned, and impossibly real—until the day he isn’t.

One morning, his room is empty. Completely empty. Covered in dust, as if no one has lived there in years.

Everyone tells her the same thing: she invented him. That the late-night wall taps, the vinyl records, the rooftop kiss under the stars—all of it was a delusion born from heartbreak and stress. Her best friend stages an intervention. Her professors get involved. And the university sends her home with a diagnosis that shatters everything she thought she knew about herself.

But Kathy knows what she felt. She knows who she loved. Even if she can’t prove he ever existed.

Eight years later, a chance encounter in the rain outside a medical library changes everything.

Because the man standing in front of her—this impossibly familiar stranger with blue-green eyes she’s spent eight years trying to forget—is very, very real.

And he has a story that will challenge everything Kathy believes about love, time, and the nature of reality itself.

Some connections refuse to break. Some truths refuse to stay buried. And some questions can only be answered by believing in the impossible.
