Even good things can become monotonous, when nothing ever changes.
Aidan Ashcroft knows that she's more fortunate than many: She has a good job, a roof over her head, a close family, and some good friends. But doing the same thing day in and day out has her feeling like she's stuck in a rut, and that life is passing her by.
Then an invitation to visit an internet friend changes everything, giving her more excitement that she had ever hoped for, including an unexpected chance at romance with someone she has long admired. But when what should be a minor disagreement spirals out of control, will they be able to reach a compromise, or will they let their chance of a lifetime slip away?
This is a companion volume to the books "Chance Meeting", "Good Love", "Poison Rose", and "Surprise Of A Lifetime", written by my friend @BansheeMoonsong , so you might like to have a look at them to fully understand some details of this story.

Enemies to lovers
Olivia and Evan met on the first day of college-and hated each other instantly. She thought he was arrogant; he thought she was uptight. But fate had other plans. Through awkward encounters, accidental proximity, and undeniable tension, their animosity turned to something more complicated: attraction. Over time, Olivia found herself falling for Evan-just as he started flaunting a new relationship. Heartbroken, she pulled away. But Evan noticed. Curious, then concerned, he began digging beneath Olivia's carefully built walls. When the truth finally surfaced, they faced it head-on-sparking the start of something raw and real between them. What followed was a slow-burning love story: from a painful breakup with Evan's girlfriend to quiet, intimate moments that bonded them deeply. As they navigated their final year of college, insecurities crept in-but so did laughter, shared dreams, and growing love. Graduation pulled them apart, and long-distance tested everything they had built. But visits, job changes, and one grand decision brought them back into the same city-and back into each other's lives for good. From moving in together to starting careers, their love deepened in the rhythm of everyday life. But love wasn't always smooth. Career crossroads and personal challenges-including fertility struggles-shook their foundation. Still, they chose each other, over and over again. Through engagement, steamy nights, wedding vows, and a honeymoon in Italy, Olivia and Evan learned that love isn't about perfect timing-it's about presence. Their marriage blossomed through laughter, vulnerability, and quiet resilience. Even when the future brought uncertainty-like the possibility of not having children From enemies to soulmates, All the Ways We Stay is a deeply emotional, often tender story about two people who choose love-over heartbreak, over distance, over time. A story that proves forever doesn't arrive all at once. It's built, one ordinary moment at a time.Complete

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
