He's subtly humming in my mind
9 parts Complete MatureZahra has just finished her A-levels and this summer is supposed to be everything. Freedom, late-night bus rides, corner shop snacks, quiet days stretched out under the sun with nothing but time and the soft hum of London around her. She is eighteen, full of dreams, and finally ready to figure out who she is and is especially looking forward to university.
Her best friend Santi has always been her anchor. But as the days get warmer and their friendship deepens into something more. This summer is one she will remember forever.
This story is a heartfelt coming-of-age about love that blurs the lines, the weight of family, the ache of growing up, and the quiet magic of finding beauty in broken things. For anyone who has ever felt too much, too young, and kept going anyway.
