What do you do when your best friend could be the love of your life? Two alarmingly awkward, clumsy, sarcastic individuals bump into one another in a flower shop, and find that they're just as odd as one another. Told through nine moments, this is a story of life, love, friendship, and flowers. {Written 2016.}

Alicia's not much for talking, and perhaps that's the reason behind her nickname - 'Listen'. She knows that sometimes keeping quiet is better than hearing the truth. Yet when she is gifted with a Polaroid camera and a charming - albeit clumsy - boy comes literally tumbling into her life, she starts to discover that maybe staying silent isn't always the answer. With a summer that seems endless and a camera to capture it all, Listen begins to realise that speaking up isn't always a bad thing, and that maybe she finally has a story worth telling. But secrets can't stay hidden forever, and the memories are as fragile as the snapshots in her hands... ________________ beautiful cover made by @anomaly-

Letters To Titus; {21 Memories} ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Titus's stormy grey eyes bore into mine, making my chest tighten. A single thought plagued me. "Could this love get anymore difficult?" As the words flew out of my mouth, the corner of his mouth tipped up, and Titus smirked at me. I guess we both knew the answer to that question. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Have you ever met someone capable of changing your entire life? Have you ever met someone who's able to change your perspective completely, make you see things differently? Have you ever met someone who showed you how to live your life to the fullest? Have you ever met someone capable of making you love? Paloma has. She met Titus. And Titus met her. Together, they created a love that could only have a disastrous ending. And this is their sad love story.

A fear of flying is one thing. Being seated next to a Tetris-addict who claims to be the Reaper is quite another. "He pulled out a business card. Where his profession should have been stated, the card read 'Destroyer of Worlds'. Nodding slowly, I pocketed the card."

There are many special people in our lives, whom we love in so many different ways. As friends, as passing lovers, as soul mates, and as family. Toby Gardner was special in so many of those ways; but as time goes on we learn that as easy as it is for those special people to walk into our lives, it is just as easy for them to walk out. Our story is an odd, possibly unusual story. A beauty and the grub if you would.
