n the quiet coastal town of Dunhaven, where the rain falls more often than the sun shines, love once bloomed between a young writer named Evelyn and a bookstore boy named Jack.
They met in the summer of 1985, both dreamers, both believers in words. Evelyn was leaving for London, but before she left, they made a pact: to keep their love alive through letters, left for each other in Jack's family bookstore under the name For the Rain.
Week after week, they wrote. Poems, confessions, silly stories. But one day, the letters from Evelyn stopped. Heartbroken and confused, Jack believed she had moved on. He never knew a fire had destroyed the back room where her letters were kept—letters she never stopped writing.
Forty years later, Claire, a young journalist, visits Dunhaven for a travel piece. She finds a dusty box in the old bookstore filled with Evelyn’s lost letters—unopened, untouched, and deeply personal. She finds Jack, now an old man with tired eyes, still surrounded by books and silence. Moved by the words Evelyn left behind, Claire sets off to find her in London.
When Jack and Evelyn meet again, time seems to slow. They sit across from each other, the rain tapping at the windows like it used to, and read the letters they never got to share. Nothing needed to be said—because every word had already been written.
