Alex's vibrant energy was like a beacon in the bustling city of Seattle, drawing Yana in with a force she couldn't resist. Despite her reserved nature, she found herself gravitating towards his boundless enthusiasm. As they navigated the rain-slicked streets on their first day together, an electric current of romance charged the air between them. Unspoken emotions began to stir within their hearts, threatening to break the surface.
Yana's love for Alex was undeniable, yet she couldn't help but feel overshadowed by his brilliance. He was everything she felt she wasn't, embodying all that she yearned to be. The more time they spent together, the more Yana realized that her feelings for Alex were deeper than she had ever imagined.
But as the city lights danced in their eyes, questions loomed over their burgeoning relationship. Could there be a forever for two souls as different as night and day? Would the ghosts of their pasts emerge to write an end to their story before it had truly begun? Or would they find a way to navigate the complexities of their emotions and embrace a future together?
Only time would tell if their love was destined to flourish or fade, but one thing was certain: Yana and Alex's journey in Seattle had started with a spark that neither could deny.

When Home Was a Person
Cristina always thought home was just a place-four walls, a roof, and the comfort of being familiar. But everything changed the moment she received his first message online. What started as simple late-night chats turned into hours of conversations, filled with laughter, secrets, and the kind of comfort she never expected to find in someone she hadn't even met yet. With every word, every call, and every "good morning" and "good night," he slowly became the warmth she never knew she was searching for. But love isn't always as simple as finding the one who feels like home. Distance, fears, and the weight of choices could break the fragile world they built together. Will their story survive the battles of reality-or will their "home" vanish before it's even fully theirs? A story of destiny, risks, and the kind of love that makes you believe in forever. Because sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person who makes you feel like you belong.

The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete

The One Who Sees Me
CG never planned to be noticed-not in her course, not in love, and definitely not by a girl like Yana. She's boyish, guarded, accidentally charming, and stuck in a course she never really chose. With no dating history and a heart quietly hardened by the things she's seen, CG was just going with the flow... until Yana came in-soft, insistent, and sincere. What started as a seatmate dynamic quickly became something else. There were late-night chats, random jealousy, quiet stares across rooms, and a slow, growing warmth that neither of them could name at first. Through the rain, hallway glances, misunderstandings, kisses on the cheek, and soft "I love you"s-Yana slowly became the one person who saw CG as she truly was. And CG, despite all her fear, started to look back. This is a slowburn sapphic love story about being seen, being chosen, and finally choosing back.Complete

Kiss Me
---------------------------- Alex never thought she could love anybody. Her family left her to foster care, and she hasn't been able to ever make any real friends. She plans to live a simple boring life, possibly until death comes for her, but is that what she really wants. No, perhaps she just needs someone... someone she never realized was just around the corner from her life. Shirley has had a great life up until now, at least she likes to think so. She does prefer looking at things through a more positive lens, so things like her debilitating health conditions seem to slip her by. Eating less food could only be a good thing right? Well, soon she would learn, not only to take better care of herself, but also to love. An experience she has yet to discover, until her lingering eyes fall far too long on one particular girl. ~~~~~ Wendy was the sweetest girl alive, with simply no one to share the overwhelming stream of love she had to share. When a storm hits her town, she's locked inside, desperate and alone for what seems to be an eternity. But unbeknownst to her, this would bring her closer to love than ever before. Marissa was getting over her past trauma, and only games could ever do that for her. During yet another month of locking herself up in her room, she found someone who was different, a light through the darkness that was her life, an angel, to save her tortured soul from damnation. At least, that's how she might phrase it. ---------------------------- The title was chosen years ago, so I decided to leave it be and combine these two stories. This will be a moderate length mini story for the two couples, exploring their journeys which happen at completely separate times. These are the untold stories of our side characters from my other book's shared universe, but reading those two books are not exactly necessary to enjoy this one. Either way, this is made for those who want to know more about these characters, so please enjoy.Complete
