We were young, fooling and madly in love. Until he left... taking my heart with him. Years later, grief brings him back. But I've moved on... at least that's what I tell myself. He still looks at me like I'm his... And maybe I still am. Because... Love never really dies... it just turns to ashes, waiting for a spark. ❝IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN...

Fleetingly, from behind, when she opened her curtains to toss something out of the window. Since then, her curtains have stayed shut tight, and she's become an enigma. One morning, when Jake was coming back from the store, he smells smoke, and notices there's a fire in the neighbours apartment. Rushing to help, he breaks into her apartment and rescues her, finally coming face-to-face with the mysterious neighbor. But she's not just hiding from the world; she's running from something dangerous. What is it??! ©LAYBIE 2025 - 2026

All she wanted was a quiet space in her final year. No drama. No distractions. Instead, she got *Evan Lee* The cocky, jaw droppingly, hot campus heartthrob who just walked in on her half-naked... and claimed the room as his own. A system glitch. One room. Zero patience. He pushes. She snaps. But when the sun goes down and secrets slip... tension turns into something else entirely. Because love was never part of the contract. And neither was temptation. © LAYBIE 2025
