"Look what I brought for us tonight, Seb." Her voice rang like a melody as she raised her other hand, showcasing a rather large bottle of mead. You recognized the label plastered on the side of the bottle. Your grandfather's winery. "I was helping my dad restock the shelves and told him I accidentally dropped the box, and they broke. I have the whole case in my room. I brought a couple of bottles with me tonight." Your eyes zoned in on the movement of her dainty fingers as their tips danced up his arm to his shoulder before changing course and resting over his chest. Sam pushed himself between the three of you and grabbed the bottle that sat within her grasp. "Don't mind if I do." He broke Abigail away from Sebastian-much to her disdain-pushing his way towards another pepper popper and shoved it inside his empty mouth...

So, I wrote this for myself, not expecting anyone else would ever read it. I needed it, so I wrote it. When I was done I figured maybe someone else might need it, too, so here it is.

Is he her safe place to land? Chapter 23 Peek: "Maybe start with no more lying to her?" Miles butted in, his glare sharp enough to cut, the frustration rolling off him in waves. "Easier said than done, and you know that, Miles." I took another long drag off the cigarette, the smoke burning down my throat but doing nothing to loosen the knot in my chest. "Yeah, doesn't mean I don't believe you both should've been more honest," Miles shot back, shrugging like he was trying to play it casual, but his jaw was tight, and his eyes stayed locked on me, daring me to argue. "Trey just loves getting in the way and dividing people," I growled, the words coming out rough. "He singles out the weak and isolates them until he can strike. I'm not saying Maya is weak, because she's fucking not, but this motherfucker has done nothing but manipulate her." "I don't disagree with you, but this is on you, too, Gray." Miles' voice dropped, cold and direct, the frustration finally cracking through. "You fucked up - don't just blame it on the narcissistic psychopath. So does that mean if she asks us to stop keeping watch, are you going to give in?" "Well, I wouldn't really have much of a fucking choice, now would I?" I sighed, rolling my eyes as I finished the beer, the empty bottle suddenly feeling too light in my hand.

Maya had learnt to believe that silence was safer than the truth. For years, she learned to measure her words, tiptoe around fury, and wear a smile that masked the slow unravelling of her spirit. But when the fear began to reach not just her, but her daughter's eyes-wide and too wise for their age-Maya knew she couldn't stay silent anymore. After losing her job and amongst the aftermath of a home in chaos, with nothing but a small suitcase and a trembling hand clutching her daughter's, she left. The farm was never part of the plan. It was run-down, overgrown, and far from everything she'd ever known. But in its quiet stillness, Maya found something unexpected-space to breathe, to heal, and to begin again. She rebuilt not just the house, but herself. And when she thought her heart had closed for good, someone came along with eyes full of patience and hands that only knew how to hold, not harm. This is Maya's story. Of survival, of strength, and of learning that love-real love-doesn't hurt, it heals.

Juniper hadn't thought about Sebastian in years, ever since they graduated from college and went their separate ways. When she finds a letter from her grandpa in her desk drawer at work inviting her to live on his vacant farm, she remembers that Stardew Valley was where Sebastian had said he was from, but she was sure he couldn't live there now. He was talented at programming and a talent like that surely took him to some fancy company in Zuzu City or even beyond.

She quickly develops a friendship with the outgoing, blue-haired bartender, Emily, who insists that Juniper visit her at work, and often.

Now, Juniper is left to wonder how she is supposed to maneuver through living in this small town, when the one person who knew the girl she was in another life seems to be hiding around every dark corner, reminding her of the past.
