The first draft of this story was previously published on the Galatea reading app under a different cover.
Ever since "the incident," Harley has become a self-professed cynic regarding relationships-too much drama, and nobody seems to measure up. However, after hitting the reset button on her life, she crosses paths with Erik, a towering, enigmatic figure who seems too flawless to be genuine, leaving her reevaluating everything she thought she knew.
Erik, having weathered his share of heartache, lives by a strict set of rules. Yet, despite his resolve, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Harley, breaking his carefully constructed barriers one by one. As their paths converge, Harley and Erik must confront their pasts and reconsider their beliefs about love and connection.

My Colors Are You
Rory doesn't believe in second chances-especially not the kind that come wrapped in late-night stares and the echo of unsaid things. After a year away from campus, she returns quieter, a little more hollow around the edges, and nowhere near ready to face what she left behind. She's good at pretending everything's fine. Until Harley-the boy who sees through everyone-starts unraveling the lie. He's all edges and shadows, more bruised heart than bad boy. And when their paths crash again, it's anything but gentle. Between secret glances, late-night confessions, and the chaos of people who pretend they're okay, Rory starts to realize that healing isn't about going back. It's about being seen-messy, uncertain, and real. And maybe, just maybe, finding the one person whose colors match your own.
