What happens when you put 2 real people in a fictional situation and let them respond as they naturally would? Well, in this case, The Unexpected happens. This is the true love story that never happened, with genuine dialogue and communication that unfolded between 2 friends.
Elle is a journalist in Toronto, stuck under the controlling nature of her overbearing editor. Jack is a Sgt. in Britain's Royal Air Force who meets her when she's forced into writing a series about online dating.
As they begin to communicate, they're both fully confident that their mutual reluctance for a relationship is safe because of their distance and circumstances. That is until, unexpectedly, they are made to deal with the reality of the relationship they've created when they find themselves thrown together in the middle of a war zone. Eventually, they begin to navigate the complicated nature of their lives as they head towards an ending neither of them ever wanted or saw coming.

Before The World Knew Our Story
They saw each other before anyone else did. Before the noise, before the chaos, before love had a name. Two souls who weren't supposed to meet.. yet somehow always did. From quiet late-night calls to stadium lights and storms, they learned how love can be both a home and a battlefield. This is the story of the girl who believed in signs and the boy who didn't.. until she became one. A story of distance, pride, laughter and everything that came before the world knew their names.

The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete
