❝If we ever meet again, and we're both not okay... then we try again.❞ They were young, fooling and madly in love, until he left... taking her heart with him. Years later, grief brings him back. But she's moved on... at least that's what she tells herself. He still looks at her like she's his... and maybe she still is. Because...

❝she's the stranger he barely knows. But saving her might be the biggest risk of his life.❞ Jake moves into a new apartment, craving a fresh start. Next door lives a girl, he's only seen once... 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

❝let me go..!❞ ❝say please...❞ All she wanted was a quiet space in her final year. No drama, and especially... 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,eading to 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
