Miles worked as a photojournalist in a small news publication. For the past four years, he had been trying to make ends meet by taking photos of celebrities and giving them to his work or selling it to other publications if the pay was considerable. He never really had any game when it came to getting a huge scoop because aside from the fact that his camera was of lower quality than the others, his luck of getting good photos - even of low quality, wasn't on his side. Not until at one point out of desperation, he was able to capture a photo of Soren Chandler - the celebrity of the year that everyone talks about. It was the only photo that captured Soren Chandler directly looking at the camera. In an instant, Miles' life turned upside down. Not in a good way. "Soren Chandler wants to work with you," Jackson, the editor-in-chief of the news publication he was working at told him. Little did Miles know was that his life was about to change. The eyes focused on the lenses of a camera will never notice the man wanting to be seen.

Nicholas Lao Batista, editorial assistant at Will & Williamson Publishing, was not a naturally quiet person. Very few knew this, and he was not one of them. What he failed to say out loud, he wrote instead. It was something a starving artist would say, the kind he would talk shit on if he were loud and a hypocrite. Unfortunately for him, Nicholas was the starving artist, and his art was all he had: his only chance to be at the center of something. He never expected he would one day wind up literally at the center of it, plunging through the pages of an ancient journal into the story he wrote. Except nothing was as intended, and with every passing day, it became harder and harder to tell bad from good. What Nicholas needed was a way home, but he found himself wanting something more - something to do with unwavering eyes and surprisingly gentle hands.

"Between friends, unspoken feelings can feel like a fragile thread pulled taut; one denies its existence while the other hides behind its delicate weave, both yearning for the courage to unravel what lies beneath." Ian and Julian, long-time best friends, find themselves in a complicated situation following a wildly inebriated, somewhat unconventional evening, which disrupts their lives. An awkward situation arises! To complicate matters, Julian poured out his emotions that night, only to later dismiss it as an error. Typical melodrama, wouldn't you say? However, Ian possesses an exceptional memory. While Julian hastily dismisses the incident, Ian's keen recollection paints a different picture. He senses Julian's insincerity and detects a discrepancy. Ian isn't one to evade unresolved issues, preferring to confront them head-on. As they deal with the fallout of their actions, conflicting perspectives, and clashes in temperament, emotions run high. The situation intensifies as they confront their feelings, leading to revelations about family secrets and youthful indiscretions. Layers upon layers of undisclosed information, intertwined with a sprinkle of adolescent recklessness and folly. Fleeing and Feeling is a captivating coming-of-age tale of love, secrets, and the often absurd journey of young adulthood, reminding us that sometimes even the messiest of situations lead to the most honest answers. @Mature.
