Once upon a time, in a small seaside village, there lived a young woman named Maren. She was known for her kindness, the twinkle in her bright green eyes, and her deep love for the ocean. Maren had grown up beside the waves, swimming and sailing with her father, who was a fisherman. For as long as she could remember, the ocean had been a place of comfort, a place where she could feel free. But life, as it often does, would soon test her in ways she never imagined.
