a poignant journey of unexpected love, loss, and the painful beauty of memories that last forever. The story begins with a simple moment-a glance through a window. Lizzy, casually peeking outside, notices a boy with his family. At first, he seems like just another loud neighbor, someone who doesn't mean much to her life. But little does she know, this fleeting encounter with Zephyr will become the defining moment of her existence. As their paths cross more often, Lizzy and Zephyr form an unspoken bond that slowly grows into something deeper. Zephyr, once a mysterious figure in Lizzy's life, becomes her closest companion-someone who understands her fears and insecurities. Their connection, filled with quiet moments and stolen glances, eventually blossoms into a love that neither of them ever anticipated. Yet, Lizzy's love for him never fades. Despite his insistence that she move on, Lizzy refuses to let go, fighting to stay by his side. But as Zephyr continues to hide the truth, Lizzy is left to face the harsh reality of the love they shared-until one fateful day when Zephyr's condition reaches its end, and Lizzy finds out the devastating truth too late. In a heart-wrenching twist, Lizzy is forced to say goodbye to the love of her life, only to discover that Zephyr had been carrying the weight of his illness alone, hoping to protect her from the pain he didn't want her to witness. Through a letter Zephyr left behind, Lizzy learns that from the very first moment they met, he had already fallen in love with her. This is a story that explores the depths of love, the heartbreaking decisions we make to protect those we care about, and the unyielding power of memories that stay with us forever. Though their time together was cut tragically short, Zephyr and Lizzy's love proves that even in death, love doesn't die-it endures, living on in the hearts of those who remain.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

She is a devoted waitress, and he is the "grumpy Scrooge" owner. Sheldon has a splendid life with the comforts of family and friends who love him dearly and a wonderful café he could call his very own, but Alexa could not understand why he is so shallow and self-centred to appreciate what he has and stop taking it all for granted. Alexa, on the other hand, life was vastly different from that of her boss; her family cares for nothing but themselves and is not averse to sacrificing her well-being to attain it. Deep down, she would give her all to have what he treated so callously as her own to love and cherish in all its entirety, but she knows that wishful thinking is a waste of time nor chances given without a price. Here she was in the little mystical town of Mistle, where Angels are both celestial and human; with Christmas vastly approaching, Alexa finds herself hoping more than ever for a miracle of chance. Let's see if a Shady stranger could be the one to give her the chance she sought and if she could pay the price. •This is entirely a work of fiction created by me, Birdeyze, the writer, for readers' entertainment. •Cover design created by DESYNER. • The picture was taken from Pinterest.
