▪️COSY ROMANCE▪️ "Some things can't wait indeed..." Elias leaned just slightly closer. "But maybe some moments are worth bad timing," he murmured, his tone carrying a weight that made her chest tighten. "What do you mean?" Cora stifled a whimper. He let out a quiet breath, eyes still on hers as his hand fell to his side, "This moment. Us. It'll find its time." **** When Cora Whitmore leaves behind a high-stress publishing job and a broken engagement, all she wants is stillness. Inheriting her late aunt's ramshackle countryside cottage seems like a sign; from whom, she's not sure, but it comes with ivy-covered walls, creaky floors, and a garden overrun with wild things. Just across the fence lives Elias Tidley, a reclusive goat keeper who spends his days making goat milk soap, honeyed cheeses and speaking mostly to animals. Stoic, grounded, and unreadable, he's everything Cora isn't, and yet somehow, he sees her. Not the version she tried to be in the city, but who she is now: messy, uncertain, and just beginning to bloom again. With help from a few mischievous goats and a community that quietly welcomes her in, Cora starts to imagine a life made of early peaceful mornings, soft-spoken companionship, and small, steady joys. But as the seasons shift and their bond deepens, Cora must decide whether she's brave enough to stay. For the land, for herself and for the man who never asked her to change a single thing.? 🔅Rated PG: Suitable for all ages. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from Canva © All rights reserved 2025 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.

A woman wakes in a train station, but it's not your usual station--it's AFTERLIFE, where souls line up after their deaths and wait to be sorted, sent to their final fate. But *how* did she get there, and why is she apparently dead? *** Evalilly doesn't even know *why* she ended up here, and has no memory of why she *might* be dead; but she's here, in Afterlife, in an office, talking to a train station manager who assures her that she's not quite alive. She's in a coma, and normally, comatose don't venture to Afterlife. Meaning she's actually...an anomaly--a soul that doesn't obey rules. While exploring the station, she stumbles into Juniper, a "ticket collector" with a penchant for not following orders. She takes Evalilly on a wild ride through the realms that compose Afterlife, and also exposes to her all the true facets of this world of the dead. These true facets hit Evalilly hard, and she's starting to wonder if it might be better if she woke up and forgot about all this; but a strange tether to Juniper makes her want to stick around and fight the cause Juniper stands for: Anomalies against Afterlife Injustices. But she's also terrified; if she dies, and isn't *in* the main train station when her body fully releases her soul, she may become lost forever, and her soul will never be given the chance to recycle... Evalilly wants that chance, but what if her fate is for her soul to wander aimlessly around Afterlife until the end of time? She'll only know if she wakes up...or dies.
