"We said goodbye for the sake of growing up. But growing up didn't mean moving on." At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history.

But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.

Fault Lines by TrinidadRimoldi

Grace was the quintessential sheltered girl. Her parents had gone through hell to have her and in a sad twist, instead of letting her enjoy the life they'd finally (finally!!) given her, they'd made her afraid to actually live it. And that helicopter style of parenting had emboldened her parents enough to believe their input in every decision making was not only important, but essential. Her life was mapped and planned to the last minute by her overbearing mother. Her future, in her mother's plans, was already set, regardless of Grace's thoughts on the matter. Her only solace, throughout her life were her best friends Liz and Ben. Liz was a similar story in the sense that her parents were strict, but for different reasons. Her older sister was a walking talking afterschool special, and because of this, her parent's default parenting setting was untrusting. And Ben, even though he came from a more laid back household, with a single mother and a lot of rambunctious brothers, he had been in all her classes and there wasn't much Grace's parents could do to keep them from bonding during school projects. But sadly Ben had passed away in a car accident fall of Junior year. So, essentially, Grace was a boiling pot waiting to be pushed. Jack has always known he liked Grace, his twin brother's best friend, but he never dared to act on it. She was shy, and only ever truly came out of her shell around Ben, Jack's twin. When tragedy strikes and Ben dies, everything changes, and Jack finds himself drawn to Grace in ways he never expected. But just when their connection begins to grow, another tragedy tears them apart, leaving Jack broken and Grace on a journey of personal growth. Years later, fate brings them together again. Can they rebuild what was lost, or is the past too heavy to overcome? A powerful story of love, loss, and the paths that lead us back to each other when we least expect it.

But he's been just living for so long that he's not sure how, especially since Gemma doesn't seem to be improving. And to top it all off, his new family's eldest son, three years his senior, is too curious and seems to know just a little too much.
