on paper, Eliana and Jonas could not be more different.
Eliana is ambitious, but hasn't yet found her path. she doesn't have it all figured out, and it seems like everyone else does.
Jonas is confident and self-assured, seemingly incapable of worrying.
Eliana's never been the main character in any love story. she wouldn't even know where to begin. and, besides, love is scary!
Jonas, on the other hand, is a pathological flirt, and is an expert in charisma. but he, too, has never been in love.
maybe Eliana and Jonas have more in common than they realize.
when their paths cross on a Christmas cruise in the Caribbean, Eliana and Jonas learn that maybe we're all alike, after all. that maybe, nothing is as it seems.
growing up is kinda crazy. it's painful. it's scary. you make mistakes. you hurt people you care about.
but it's also a lot of fun.

Bound To Love You
"You came into my life out of nowhere, Eliana, like a storm I never saw coming, and turned everything upside down. You stirred feelings in me I didn't even know I had. And now, just like that, you want to walk away? After everything? If that's really what you want, then fine... but before you go, I swear I'll make you fall in love with me. Maybe then, you'll realize this is where you belong... with me." After graduating from college, Eliana is ready to start a new chapter of her life. She dreams of joining her older sister abroad to help support their family, but everything changes when tragedy strikes. Her best friend, who is heavily pregnant, gets into a terrible accident on her way home. Miraculously, the baby survives, but her best friend doesn't make it. Now, Eliana is left devastated and burdened with an overwhelming responsibility. Her best friend had no other living family, so the newborn is left in her care. With no stable income, no solid plan for her future, and no experience in motherhood, Eliana is forced to make an impossible choice. The only hope she sees is to track down the baby's father, a man she deeply resents. She knows exactly where to find him. This man, as far as she knows, took advantage of her best friend during one of her lowest moments. The thought of facing him fills her with anger and disgust. But for the baby's sake, she gathers the courage to confront him. Their first meeting is tense. Eliana's heart is heavy with judgment and pain. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a tangled web of emotion, truth, and healing. Now Eliana must face the most difficult question of all: Can she trust the man she once hated... not just with the child, but with her own heart? P.S: This story is taglish. Hope you like it. 💙🤗Complete

Let's Play Pretend - by seasandsalt
"So," she starts, one hand holding her bag and the other coming up to rest on Nick's shoulder. "How long have you two been together?" What? He's taken aback, uncomfortable under her touch and wanting to brush her hand off his shoulder, completely and utterly confused by her words. Together? Does she think they're dating? Nick starts, "oh, we're not actually-" Dream cuts him off. "We've known each other for about nine years, but got together four or five months ago." What the fuck? or; Dream invites Nick on a seemingly innocent vacation aboard a cruise ship. Nick realizes that Dream's family is under the impression that their relationship is much more than just friendly. He also realizes that they have to keep up the lie for the entire trip. © seasandsalt, 2021 This story is NOT MINE. THIS STORY BELONGS TO seasaltsand ON AO3 ALL CREDIT GOES TO THEM!
