With her father's old truck totaled, her best friend six feet under, and guilt weighing in her chest, aspiring singer-songwriter Evie Pearce fled the quiet town of her childhood to live with her aunt in Manhattan, hoping to lose herself in the city's noise.
Tucked in an alcove near her aunt's apartment is The Greenhouse, a small café and flower shop where Evie meets Grace-a soft-spoken, poet-loving barista willing to sacrifice anything to keep her adopted brother safe amidst their parent's ongoing divorce.
Silver Lines is a collection of prose, poetry, and dialogue shared in a New York café between two dreamers learning to grieve, heal, and love, without losing sight of the silver lining in the clouds.

Think About Me
Sometimes it's an old flame that burns the brightest. Carter lives a quiet, happy life. She's got everything she could ever want. Her dream apartment, her dream job, a budding relationship with a new guy who's sweet and kind and good for her. How could she ask for more? But when an old crush comes back to town and asks her to catch up, her curiosity gets the better of her. She knows she shouldn't ask, but she's dying to know: does she ever cross his mind like he does hers? The answer might be like putting a torch in her hand, might drive her to be reckless enough to catch fire to this new relationship she's built. Maybe it'll all turn to ash, but maybe... something better will come out of it. I do not own the rights to any of the photos. All credit goes to the original owners.Complete
This Girl
I turn around and look into his blue eyes, searching them. When I'm certain that he's not lying, butterflies erupt in my stomach and I gulp audibly. His fingers move from playing with the tips of my hair to my cheeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His other hand moves from my waist to my jawline and he trails his thumb along my bottom lip. He pulls my face closer until I can smell his minty breath. His eyes close and so do mine. My head tilts to the side slowly and I feel his lips on mine. *** Natalie Bennett: a sassy 17-year-old, who, after leaving her home in Paris, starts at Lakewater high in America. Natalie is humble, sarcastic and smart, funny and forgiving. She complains when she has to wear dresses, heels and make-up and she can't stand annoying fake girls. Alex Collins: cocky, egocentric, and a magnet to the female race, that is, all girls except Natalie, who can't stand him. Alex is a player, a model, and a singer. His family is rich. He's the definition of a bad boy, but behind those ray bans hides an intelligent soft side. But when they unexpectedly bump into each other both Natalie and Alex begin to realize there might be more layers to the other than they expected.

The Aid
*MAJOR EDITS/REWRITE IN PROGRESS* Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual contentComplete
