After being forced to constantly relive the trauma of that day, Chris Dalton's life is finally taking a turn for the better. He is embarking on a new career change as an elementary gym teacher while preparing to propose to the love of his life, Laila. Everything seems to be falling into place until he meets the girl in the cargo-pants, Ada Zabala, a special education teacher whose classroom happens to be right next to his office. There is something about Ada that captivates him, but he struggles to pinpoint it. Could it be the pain behind her eyes? Could it be the secrets she carries from her past? Or could it just be the way she fills him up and makes him feel like he isn't the only one with demons? The problem is: can two dark and empty souls fill each other up when their pasts are constantly clashing with the present? The other problem is: He made a promise to marry Laila, how can he break that promise? Ada just got out of an abusive relationship and swears off dating men from work, until he follows her to her classroom after she ran out of a meeting crying. His genuine worry for her made her feel seen. It made her feel heard. It made her feel like she was no longer alone. Though, as much as she wants him, Chris is already in a committed relationship and she isn't ready for another one. However, no matter how much they fight the urge, can they really stay apart? Why is he so drawn to her, and why can't she resist him despite knowing they're not healthy for one another? Secrets. Guilt. Pain. Loneliness. They know those things all too well, but will that bring them closer together, or just tear them apart harder?

A Lesson In Love // Hugh Jackman

23 parts Complete Mature

(Completed) True love blossoms in adversity. Zara Kings just didn't expect it to happen with her favorite teacher. ... All throughout high school, Zara Kings only ever had one friend - her substitute teacher, Mr. Hugh Jackman. None of her peers ever gave her the time of day. She was too weird. Too awkward. However, Mr. Jackman saw straight through that when he became the permanent substitute in her P.E. class. He saw her for who she was - a mature and intelligent girl with academic goals she never shared with anyone. Not until him. Hugh took on the mantle of becoming her mentor. He encouraged her, supported her every endeavor, and had faith she would accomplish her goals and so much more. But, that was all it was - a purely platonic and professional relationship. And once she graduated, of course, they lost touch. Now, 10 years later, they unexpectedly reconnect at an entrepreneur convention. Except this time, Zara and Hugh are no longer student and teacher. They're both adults, and their past dynamic shifts into new territory. They must learn to navigate these new feelings and attraction, or surrender to the fear of what others might think when they learn of how they met. If only it was that simple, because no matter what they do, they somehow always find their way right back to each other.
