Synopsis:
Eve wasn't looking for anything when she joined a random Phasmophobia lobby late one night-just another game, just another distraction. But then she met Alec. Sharp-tongued, reckless, and infuriatingly confident, he was the kind of person she should have ignored. Instead, she found herself drawn to him.
What started as casual late-night gaming sessions turned into something else-something dangerous. Because even though she had a boyfriend waiting for her in real life, it was Alec who kept her up until sunrise. It was Alec who never said no when she asked to play. And it was Alec who slowly became the one thing she couldn't let go of.
Seven days. That was all she allowed herself-to play, to talk, to see if this connection was real. Then she would disappear, leaving nothing behind but a memory.
But what happens when a week isn't enough? And what if the person you're trying to forget... refuses to let you go?

A Past Written in The Stars
Olivia and Ethan's story didn't begin with fireworks. It wasn't a whirlwind romance or an earth-shattering moment of fate. Instead, it started with something simple-two souls crossing paths at just the right time. They met years ago in a way neither of them had planned. It was during a travel retreat, a small group of adventurous strangers brought together for an experience that promised to be both unforgettable and fleeting. A week of exploring a foreign city, learning new cultures, sharing laughter over candlelit dinners, and stealing moments in between. Back then, Olivia had been drawn to Ethan's effortless charm-the way he could talk to anyone, the way his laughter filled a room, the way he always seemed to be looking for the next adventure. And Ethan? He admired Olivia's quiet confidence, her love for creativity, and the way she saw beauty in the smallest things. For seven days, they wandered through bustling streets and hidden alleyways, beneath the glow of city lights and along tranquil coastlines. There had been something unspoken between them, something simmering beneath the surface, but life had a cruel sense of timing. As quickly as the week had begun, it ended. No promises were made. No goodbyes were dramatic. They simply parted, believing that if fate had other plans, it would find a way. But fate, as it seemed, had other ideas. Months turned into years. The real world took over-jobs, responsibilities, the distractions of everyday life. They lost touch, caught up in their own separate journeys. And yet, here they were. On a remote island, thousands of miles away from where their story had begun. The moment Olivia saw him, it was as if time folded in on itself. Every unsaid word, every missed opportunity, every "what if" that had ever lingered between them-it all led to this. This moment. A second chance, written in the tides.Complete
