Mallory has a mission, a purpose, an end in sight. She doesn't need fun or distractions. She's driven and focused to the point of inattention to any and all things going on around her. And that's how it happens. One moment she's checking her mail before heading to her last class of the day, and the next she's staring at the remains of her emotional support coffee all over her shirt, the floor, and the handsome neighbor she's never even noticed until today. His presence in her life is a nuisance and the absolute last thing she would have wanted, but maybe, just maybe, he might be something she needed. __________ Open Novella Contest (ONC2026), prompt 19: when you accidentally spill coffee on someone, the moment that should've ruined your day becomes the beginning of a surprising and life changing friendship. I told myself I wasn't going to do it, I wasn't going to attempt two novellas at once when I have so many other things started. But clearly the muse is strong and the will is weak.

All of her life, Iyan Vesper was told, "Do not enter the Vetiti. Faeries will steal you away." She didn't believe them. She should have. Faeries roam the Vetiti and the lands beyond.

The class busted out laughing making poor Henry's smile droop noticeably and that did it. I may not like this dude of a Henry, but that doesn't mean I won't say anything. "That's enough!"
