All that's missing is the heart-shaped box.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
LEFT HAND
This is my very first... thing ever published. A story that is frankly likely to be boring for most people, but only those who won't have enough heart to detect deep emotions that personally pushed me to finally let you read it, hiding all alone between the lines and the little unconscious humor that Simon transmits to us by letting us dive into his head... It's about loneliness, sadness, regrets, relationships, love... Feelings. Some more confusing than others, some more violent than others, some more forbidden than others... But all as sincere as every line of this short story. I won't say more; I'll let you discover this... thing. Thanks in advance for clicking on LEFT HAND, and I hope you'll like it. I'm sure that right now you're somewhere quiet, relaxed and convinced that you know who you are, who your friends are, or the people closest to you... What they are going through, what is going on in their heads... I was like you... But I was wrong. °°°°° ⚠ Warning ⚠️ The story you are about to immerse yourself in is not fiction. It takes place approximately between June 17th and September 5th, 2003. Some events, dialogue, details, and characters have been added for dramatic purposes, but each chapter captures the essence of a real story, the story of the lives of people who actually existed (and who may still exist). This novel contains themes of depression, violent accidents, obsessive-compulsive disorder, verbal abuse, unconventional coital intimacy, drug use, and suicide. Reserved for mature audiences.

That you're here to sweep me off my feet? Please! I didn't need you all this time, and I don't need you now." He clenched his jaw, fisting his hands. "Enough. Stop being so damn stubborn.
