Rain is thoughtful, introverted, but vibrant in her own space. She falls not fast, but deep. She starts from "oh you're the guy from drama night" to "I wonder what your Spotify playlists say about you" real quick. She doesn't fantasize because she's naïve. She fantasizes because her emotions are intense, but unspoken. She's afraid to ask, but too aware not to notice. And she holds back-until that one reel reply. Until the hand-holding. Until the glances that linger too long. That's when her heart outruns her logic. And once that happens... yeah, there's no turning back. Josh is a walking question mark. He doesn't flirt in the traditional, over-the-top way. But he shows up. He notices things. He plays subtle games. He's present, and then a little distant, but not cold. And he knows what he's doing-this is a guy who tests the waters. Does he like rain? Rain walked into that fest as a volunteer hoping for snacks-and walked out with memories that etched themselves onto her heart in invisible ink.Complete

Inspire: Book One (bxb) ✔️
Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete
