[This story is free as of February 10, 2021] "Move over A Walk to Remember, and make way for one of the most heartwarming stories this side of Wattpad. It's so cute, I could cry (again)." - Grace @ HQ After tragedy strikes, Nolan loses all faith and never expects to love, let alone smile again until Nora-perky and persistent-walks into his life. ***** 15-year-old Nolan Haynes has everything. A loving family, a promising future as a filmmaker, and a pretty cool group of friends. That is until tragedy strikes and he's forced to move towns. Nolan vows never to let anyone in ever again-they always leave. But on a summer day two years later, when the super upbeat, Nora walks to his lunch table-Nolan has to try a bit harder to keep a smile off his face. Little does he know that Nora is fighting a battle of her own, one that no one could even imagine. And as the two get closer, they not only find solace in each other but in God. When Nolan is faced with a situation in which he has to break Nora's trust to protect her, can their budding relationship still stand and will God show up in all of this? [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]] Content and/or Trigger Warning: This story contains scenes of verbal and physical abuse that may be triggering for some readers. NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.

// CW: Strong Language, Sexual Themes, Violence, Gore, Child Abuse, Mental Illness, Mentions of Self-Harm and Suicide Xavier Alstro is a waiter at The Burgundy, a fine dining restaurant in Vancouver. Every day, he grapples with both short-tempered customers and making a sufficient living to support his alcoholic mother and infant niece. To add to his problems, his inner thoughts seemed to have manifested into a person of its own, tempting him to do reckless---and sometimes even criminal---things. Daniel Pierce is the adopted son of the late Howard Pierce, a wealthy art connoisseur. He was pulled from the streets of Vancouver straight into a life of luxury, all due to his talents in sculpting. Although, unbeknownst to everyone around him, the soft-spoken and polite young man hides a secret from his blurry past. Something he needs to satisfy and bury at the same time. When an innocent crush turns into a desperate hold onto the other for stability, Xavier and Daniel are forced to deal with the shadows they've hidden. Hopefully before they chisel away at each other's marble hearts.
