They were the duo everyone admired - Sophia and Daniela, perfectly in sync, always side by side. But no one knew what it was like in those quiet moments, the ones shared just between them. Something lingered in the space they occupied together, a connection that was impossible to define. It was subtle, unspoken... something just between them.

This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Felicity Rose Bennett has everything the world thinks she wants-chart-topping songs, magazine covers, fans who call her perfect. But the world doesn't know she's hiding. Burned out, suffocated by fame, and haunted by a stalker no one else knows about, Felicity flees to her mothers' quiet Toronto lake house just to breathe for the first time in years. She doesn't expect Harriet Johnson to walk through the door with a suitcase and a key. Harriet has spent the last four years running from her past-alcohol addiction, heartbreak, and the memory of the only girl she's ever loved. Sober now and fighting her way through med school, she only wanted a quiet summer. She didn't know Felicity would be here. She didn't know that sharing a roof again would feel like falling into a storm she thought she'd survived. They were childhood best friends turned teenage lovers-until Harriet broke Felicity's heart in the worst possible way. Now they're twenty-two, trapped by old history and new secrets, in the same house that once held their whispered dreams and first kisses. The deal is simple: her side, my side. But nothing about Felicity and Harriet has ever been simple. Not the history, not the wanting, not the way every look feels like a dare and every brush of skin threatens to set them both on fire. In the thick of July, in a house full of memories, two girls who once had everything will have to decide if second chances are worth the risk-and if loving each other is worth surviving for.

❝ You're not understanding just how much you're worth to me. ❞ Her eyebrows knit together and she made sure to lower her voice. You are a part of me, you are essential to my being . . / 𝑱𝑼𝑱𝑼 𝑾𝑨𝑻𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑺 © skullhoe

❝ Nobody's gaze can catch me and capture mines like yours do. ❞ She chuckled, resting her head on my chest as she relaxed in my arms. I'll be your rock 'cause you are my boulder. . / 𝑱𝑼𝑱𝑼 𝑾𝑨𝑻𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑺 © skullhoe

❝ are you aware that my heart is trying to crawl out of my chest to get to you? ❞ JUJU WATKINS x F!OC. ( completed. )

SAY YOU'RE MINE AND MEAN IT Desmond Matrice keeps her head down, her shot clean, and her heart out of reach. Raised on survival and silence, she's built for pressure-on the court and in life. But when a honey-skinned cheerleader with too much lip gloss and not enough boundaries sets her sights on her, Desmond's routine starts to slip. Haylen Blakemoor is used to getting what she wants. And what she wants is Desmond-cool, quiet, unreadable Desmond. The girl who won't flirt back but never looks away. The girl who moves like control, but kisses like chaos. What starts with hallway glances and late-night FaceTimes turns into sleepovers, sideline tension, and a love that refuses to wait its turn. Desmond's afraid to need. Haylen needs too much. And neither of them is backing down. This isn't just a campus love story. It's about claiming what's yours. And holding on-harder, louder, deeper. If you say it, you better mean it.
