Just Ten Dates

She didn't know she only need just ten dates to fall in love.
He didn't expect he'd need just ten dates to break his own heart.
Because when the truth finally came out, love was the cruelest part of the plan.

Alexandra Calynn Acosta had long given up on the idea of love that lasted. Always carrying the weight of responsibility, she chose to put her family first, even if it meant sacrificing her own dreams. Bound by a commitment she never asked for and engaged to a man she never chose, love was a luxury she couldn't afford-until Caelan made her question everything she thought she knew about herself.

Caelan Amell Gervacio, on the other hand, had always believed in love-the real kind, the kind that endures. To him, relationships were about loyalty, trust, and building something that would last. But when he met Calynn, he wasn't prepared for the way she would turn his world upside down. What started as a simple attraction soon became something deeper, especially once he uncovered the hidden truths that tied their lives together in ways neither of them could have ever expected.

But what happens when their worlds collide? Can love break down the walls they've built, or will it be the thing that destroys them both?

This story has been on my drive since July 18, 2020. I wrote this during the pandemic as a product of my imagination, and I wanted to practice my writing. So, I plotted this story in my mind. I want to write stories about different types of love for family, friends, and a special someone through these stories.
