From the moment Ronan saw Posie, he knew that he could never love anyone as much as he loved the green-eyed girl who talked too much. As the years went on, they became inseparable. There was never a Ronan without a Posie. Ronan hoped that Posie's feelings for him would change from the innocent friendship into something more. But as their senior year nears its end, and Posie's feelings remain unchanged, Ronan worries that he may be running out of time.
Posie never looked at another man the way she looks at Ronan. She knows her feelings for him are more than just friendly, but with a one-way ticket to Paris next fall, and Ronan's band that's quickly gaining the public's attention, she knows telling him will only cause them both pain. That is until a masquerade party, a mistaken identity, and way too much tequila test the very bounds of that friendship. Posie tells herself that the kiss meant nothing, but Ronan has decided he's done hiding his feelings for her, even if it means ruining the best thing that ever happened to him.

But my love for Harry is poetry written by hand in leather journals, dried flowers pressed into novels and open button up shirts that expose my black swimmer tops.

Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteComplete
