When I noticed the man in cubicle 7C, no one else saw him. Not Derek from Accounting. Not Priya from HR. Not the dozens of people who walked past that dead-end corner every single day. But he was there. Navy tie. Gray eyes. Waiting. His name is Luke Grady. He's been invisible for three years. Everything about him erases when no one looks-photographs, documents, handwritten words. The world forgets him in increments. But I remember. And the more I learn about him, the more I realize: I'm not just finding him. I'm finding what I buried.

Written in the eyes of Josh Brown, as he moves to Portland with his family. But when he meets Fraya, she changes his whole look on the world, he doesn't understand her, she's sending him mixed messages, but could he be falling for her? (some sneaky snippets of what's to come...) "So, you're leaving?" I asked and I couldn't help but feel pain at the thought of not seeing her. "Most likely" she said, placing the cigarette between her pink lips before drawing in, I watched as she closed her eyes and the thick white smoke fumed out threw her nostrils. "What about your family, I mean won't you miss them?" I asked, my eyes still trained on her. I could watch her forever and never get bored. "I can call" she said nonchalantly. "Oh" I sighed, and turned my gaze back to the blue sky as we laid in the hammock. "I mean, If Ever I Stay, it will be because there's something worth staying here for" (Another sneaky snippet) "I like you, Fray" I whispered softly. She paused before she continued getting ready. "Did you hear me? Fray? I like you!" I merely shouted, why is she ignoring me? "Fray-" I began to say again. "I heard you" she said nonchalantly. "Then why are you still going to leave tonight with that jerk?!" I yelled, my anger rising, I could feel the bubbling heat in my veins. "Because" she simply answered. Now she's really getting on my nerves. "Because why-" I asked before she cut me off. "Because Josh, just because, ok?" she sighed "I like him, and I can't do anything for you if I don't feel the same towards you! What you expect me to leave someone, I like just because you think you're better?!" she shouted "I know I'm better" I said more calmly as I pulled her into my arms and kissed her with all I had, to try and make her change her mind. She pulled away, a look of shock, confusion and annoyance etched onto her face. Wait and find out what happens in 'If Ever I Stay'
