Yet, despite this undeniable pull, something always stood in the way. Perhaps it was the cruel hand of fate, the timing perpetually askew, or the weight of responsibilities pulling them in different directions. Maybe it was the unspoken fears, the hesitant steps, or the words that remained trapped, unuttered. This isn't a tale of dramatic betrayal, but a more subtle, equally heartbreaking one of missed opportunities and the silent choices that gently, irrevocably, guided them down separate paths. It's about the "what ifs" that lingered in the air, the future they both envisioned but could never quite grasp. --- This is the poignant narrative of why we never were-a deeply emotional exploration of a love that defied definition but succumbed to circumstance. It delves into the quiet anguish of knowing someone is your other half, yet watching them slip away, not through animosity, but through the delicate dance of life's unpredictable currents. It's a story that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the ache of a potential future unfulfilled, a love that existed in every sense but the tangible, leaving behind only the bittersweet echo of what could have been. --- What started as a sweet long-distance romance filled with longing turned into an acceptance of a reality of "Why We Never Were".

Her forever love, the end game.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

A true story told like a novel - raw, and unapologetically alive. Annabelle. 31. Paris. Sharp mind, soft heart, zero patience for bullshit. Bray. 34. New York. Finance guy. Clean cut, emotionally messy, stupidly charming. I met him on Hinge. Three days in Paris. One week in New York. And hundreds of messages I never deleted. He wasn't just a man. He was a possibility. A distraction. A storm. A mirror. This isn't a love story. It is my story. The story of what it did to me. Through voice notes, late-night texts, and impossible distance, I tried to hold on. To him. To what we had. To who I was becoming. It's messy. It's vulnerable. Sometimes funny, often heartbreaking. But above all, it's mine. And if I can't change what happened, I can at least rewrite the ending.
