She stood at the edge of the stage, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted her dupatta. He was already there, eyes locked on her, completely still except for the tear that slipped down his cheek.
She smirked softly, remembering her old threat.
"If you don't cry on our wedding day, I'll run away."
And there he was her chaotic, carefree boy, crying like he never wanted to blink again.
Because he knew, in that moment, he was finally home.

Ryaan Sharma, a carefree, adventurous boy, and Tanshi Narang, a fiery, sensitive girl, went from childhood rivals to soulmates. Separated by lockdown in 8th grade, they reconnected on Instagram in 9th, and their love started blooming. From school crushes to long distance and finally soulmates, their story is filled with laughter, chaos, and forever love.
Because some hearts, once found, never let go.
First book 🏒.
Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan.
New country. New city. New campus.
And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it.
Her brother's best friend.
Her worst enemy.
And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University.
Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge.
He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older.
And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all.
They're not friends. Definitely not something more.
But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur.
And when hearts get tangled...
Someone's going to fall.
