"Can you come over?" "Can you stay?" "I just want to be around you." 𝘡𝘖𝘙𝘐 𝘈𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘐𝘈 𝘞𝘏𝘐𝘛𝘔𝘖𝘙𝘌 is Charlotte's golden girl. With wealthy parents, a picture perfect reputation, and a thriving side hustle doing flawless wig installs, she has the kind of life everyone envies. But behind the polished image and warm smile, Zori is secretly saving every dollar because she knows the love in her house comes with conditions. 𝘑𝘈𝘐𝘋𝘈 𝘕𝘖𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘌 𝘙𝘐𝘝𝘌𝘙𝘚 has learned the hard way not to depend on anyone. Growing up in the foster care system, her survival guide is simple: don't get comfortable, and don't expect people to stay. She keeps her circle small, her words careful, and her guard up while working her shifts at Foot Locker and counting down the days until graduation. They live in completely different worlds, but senior year has a way of blurring the lines. Between late night food runs, R&B playing through car speakers, and the chaotic energy of their friend groups merging, Zori and Jaida find themselves pulled into each other's orbit. Zori talks. Jaida listens. Zori makes Jaida feel chosen. Jaida makes Zori feel accepted. But when senior year ends and the safety nets fall away, the real world hits harder than either of them expected. When Zori's perfect life shatters after coming out, and Jaida officially ages out of the system, they're left with nothing but each other and the keys to a small apartment. Together, they have to learn that love isn't something you should have to earn and that home was never a place. It was a person. -lifewindia©️

For as long as she can remember, Amaris Knowles has seen him. In crowds. In reflections. In the dark when she feels most alone. He's always there-watching, protecting, disappearing before she can get close. She thought he was a figment of her imagination. A coping mechanism. A sign she was losing her mind. Until one day, someone else speaks to him. His name is Kai. He's not human. He's a Watcher-a spirit sent to protect her after a near-death experience as a child. He grew with her. Aged with her. Watched every heartbreak, every tear, every moment she never knew she wasn't alone. But he was never supposed to love her. What was meant to be protection slowly turns into something dangerous, something forbidden, something neither of them were prepared for. Now that his mission is complete, Kai is supposed to let her go. Instead, the closer he gets, the more human he becomes... and the more dangerous loving her turns. Because there's one rule Watchers can never break: never fall in love with the person you were sent to protect. And Kai already has. A love that defies reality. A romance that was never supposed to exist.

Rayne smirked, exhaling smoke. "Not like this, huh? What's that mean, mama?" I rolled my eyes, grabbing a pillow to throw at her. "Stop calling me that." "You don't want me to?" she asked, leaning forward, grin sharp. I froze, lips parting. "...I didn't say that." Her laugh filled the room, low and warm.
