Sheltered Love (SHORT STORY)
🥇 Best Pick-Up Line in The Cupid Mini Awards 2026
Two People. One Heart. Mason & May drift through hospital life like ghosts-teens more comfortable unseen than known. Each carries a past that refuses to stay quiet, shaping the way they move through the world. They meet in the hallway of their floor, and in a place meant for recovery, they discover something unexpected in each other. What starts as "just friends" begins to shift into something deeper-delicate, uncertain, and new. Can these two lovebirds survive, or will their love be shattered by their own flaws?
