It Began In Italy | βœ”οΈ by moonlighttkisscs

One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?
The Summer of Absolutely Nothing by Sttrre
17 parts Complete
It's summer - the end of my first year of college. And I am home again, more than a little worse for the wear. College hadn't gone how I had expected it to go. After two years of the grind to get in, I thought I would find the kind of magic I saw in American high school movies, which I had been denied of in school - late nights, parties, wild adventures with whacky best friends, romance.... everything one is told is supposed to happen in one's teenage years. After two years of watching my classmates grow up and enter this world, I thought it was my turn, now. I thought my college life would be like a coming-of-age movie. But in reality? It wouldn't make a good story, of any kind - not even a sad one. The only thing I found were shiftless friends, stifling academic pressure and heartbreak. So now I was home - a little bruised, a little broken. A few dreams in shards around my feet. Turns out, I needn't have worried. The summer that followed changed my life. The summer of - after a hectic, stressful year - nothing at all. Nothing, and yet - everything.

Enter Leo-the charming, unpredictable frat guy who makes it impossible for River to keep her walls up. With his laid-back confidence, easy banter, and genuine kindness, he pulls her into moments of joy and spontaneity, reminding her what it feels like to be truly alive. But River isn't looking for something serious. She's keeping her heart guarded, convinced that this summer has an expiration date, and so does whatever this thing is with Leo. As River navigates the delicate balance between falling for someone and keeping her distance, she's forced to confront what it really means to live in the moment. Can she protect herself from getting hurt, or will she let her heart lead her into the unknown?
