The Quiet Between Us
It's a story about love that once felt like home - and how silence slowly took its place. Told from the eyes of someone who still loves her, The Quiet Between Us follows the painful journey of holding on, losing yourself, and learning what love means when words stop coming. It begins with five days of no contact - days filled with regret, hope, and aching memories of how things used to be. Through twenty long, honest chapters, the story unfolds the truth of what happens when love turns into exhaustion, when the person you love needs to rest from loving you, and when you have to decide whether to keep waiting or start healing. This isn't just a story of heartbreak - it's a story of change. Of learning how to love gently. Of realizing that sometimes, love doesn't end; it just grows differently. Tragic, soft, and painfully real - The Quiet Between Us is about two people who loved each other deeply, but forgot how to stay without breaking apart.Complete
We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
