The Swan 2: Taking Flight
*COMPLETE*** "You're not playing fair," I whispered, shuddering when I felt his lips and the stubble on his jaw brush against the side of my neck. "I don't recall making rules," he said, lifting his head, our noses nearly touching as he stared into my eyes. "If there aren't rules, then I can't be playing unfair." "Friends don't talk this close," I said as he took a step closer. "Or touch this much." "Friends also don't respond to their friends' touch the way you are to mine," he said, bringing his hand up to my jaw and tilting my face up towards his, his lips centimeter from mine. "I personally think you set our friendship up for failure by assuming our connection could be ignored. I've never been good at friendship anyway, I say we try something I could do better at." "What could you do better at, Milo?" I asked, a shaky breath escaping me as his lips leaned in closer and only turned away from mine at the last minute. His lips brushed against my ear as his hand moved to the back of my head, threading through my hair as he whispered. "Us." Emery has been in Europe the last eight months.

Behind The Smile
Introduction "I didn't know you were holding so much behind that smile." Lia's world was a fragile one, built on cracks formed long ago. Her childhood was a battlefield she never signed up for, leaving her with scars no one could see. To others, she seemed ordinary-just another girl navigating life with a shy smile and quiet demeanor. But beneath that facade, she carried the weight of her loneliness and the chaos of her mind. Friends surrounded her, yet she always felt alone, yearning for someone who could truly understand her, someone she could trust with the pieces of her broken soul. On the other side of town was Troy, a boy who once thrived on attention and shallow connections. His charm was his weapon, and his reputation as a playboy made him the envy of many. But behind the smirk and the easy confidence lay a heart bruised by betrayal. A complicated past relationship had shaken his faith in love, leaving him guarded and distant. He wanted to believe in the possibility of connection, to open his heart again, but something always held him back. He needed love, not in the fleeting, superficial way he once knew, but something real-something that could mend the cracks inside him. When fate brought them together, Lia was at her lowest, her walls crumbling under the weight of her pain. For Troy, her vulnerability was both frightening and magnetic, stirring feelings he thought he had buried. In her, he saw a reflection of his own struggles, and in him, she found a flicker of hope she didn't dare believe in. Their meeting was not a coincidence-it was the beginning of a story that would test the limits of trust, resilience, and the transformative power of love. Would they be able to pull each other from the shadows, or would their broken pieces cut too deep? Their journey had only just begun, and everything was about to change.
