PASEO DE ESTRELLA SERIES #1: Growing up, I saw what real love looked like. Daddy loved Mommy in the quietest, most thoughtful ways. Never once did he raise his voice at her. He always listened when she talked. He remembered the little things, like her favorite mug and how she liked her coffee. Kailanman, hindi ko sila nakitang nag-away. Every conversation sounded like a gentle exchange of sweet nothings. Ganoon din nila kami pinalaki, punô ng lambing, pag-unawa, at respeto. They treated each other with so much care. Kaya naman, ang paraan ng pagmamahalan nila sa isa't isa ang naging batayan ko pagdating sa usaping pag-ibig. Back in high school, whenever we were asked to describe our ideal person in a scrapbook, I always wrote the same things. Someone who's soft-spoken. Someone who listens. Someone loyal. Someone responsible. Someone who would do everything to make sure I'm happy, even in the smallest ways. Kaya ganoon na lang ang pagkabihag ni Aaron Felix Ezpartinez sa nananahimik kong batang puso, unang kita ko pa lang sa kaniya. He was the kind of man who chose grace over anger, even when he was hurting. Bagay na tingin ko kung bakit mas lalong lumalim ang pagkakagusto ko sa kanya. Ang problema nga lang, wala naman siyang gusto sa akin. Kinikilala lang niya ako bilang kapatid ng kuya ko. Pero kahit gano'n, hindi iyon naging hadlang para itigil ko ang nararamdaman ko para sa kaniya. Pinili kong gustuhin siya kahit sa malayo, kahit alam kong hindi niya ako kailanman mapapansin sa paraang gusto ko. What I didn't know was that some feelings only bloom in moments too fragile to last. And sometimes, the kind of love we give everything to... only grows in borrowed time. "I never said it out loud. But everything I became... I became because of him." [THIS IS WRITTEN IN TAG-LISH] DATE STARTED: 06/29/25

There are three general truths every Acebridge inhabitant knows by heart. First, if you're on a hunt for the greatest latte in North Carolina, Beans & Bagels just off Main Street is the place to go. Second, the color that paints the exterior and interior walls of the ice cream parlor by the beach is a deeply horrifying shade of blue. And last, but not least, Ace Easters and Acebridge Westers do not - and should not - mix. After all, the generations-long rivalry between Acebridge's two high schools is the most prominent and soul fueling tradition of the quaint coastal town. In other words, Avery Waters should absolutely not go around kissing Ethan Taylor.

She's an outsider, but more than that, she's hoarding secrets. As the leader of the Pine Falls werewolf pack, it is his job to keep his people safe. Any knowledge he doesn't have is dangerous. But the woman scoffs at his intimidation tactics, and she somehow convinces him to install a state-of-the-art security system in her house when his goal was to drive her away. Doesn't help that his inner wolf is lovesick for the fiery greeting card crafter. These two enemies find their animosity flaring hotter until the thin sheet of paper between loathing and longing goes up in flames.

[Watty 2025 Winner] [Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
