Grace and Jamie have spent their entire lives giving each other pieces of themselves. While trading secrets, truths, insecurities, and dreams, they've become so intertwined that to most they seem to be two halves of the same whole.
But bonds like theirs are delicate, and the heart is easily led astray. One of them is running out of parts to give.
Feelings are hidden, mistakes are made, lines get blurred, and with life pulling them in opposite directions, two years go by without contact.
Now they have two options: keep playing the game of avoidance and denial, or lay it all on the line and rewrite their story into the one that should have been.

Dating on Paper
Fake dating was supposed to be simple, temporary... just on paper. ────୨ৎ──── Aria never planned on pretending to be in love-especially not with Christian Fell. He's sarcastic, emotionally closed-off, and way too good at pretending he doesn't care. She's cautious, soft-hearted, and already carrying enough feelings she refuses to unpack. The deal was clear: - Two months. - Public affection. - No real feelings. Easy, right? Except rumors spread faster than truth, exes don't stay in the past, and lines blur when fake kisses start feeling a little too real. When Aria finds herself caught between friendships breaking, secrets unraveling, and a contract that's about to expire, she has to face the one thing she's been avoiding. What happens when pretending isn't pretending anymore? Dating on Paper is a slow-burn, high school romance filled with messy emotions, fake dating gone wrong, jealousy, parties that end badly, and two people who keep lying to themselves for way too long. Because some love stories start with feelings. And some start with a signature.
