When Eli Lockhart returns to his hometown after three years away, it's supposed to be a short visit - just two weeks to settle his late father's affairs and disappear again. But when he runs into Margot Hayes, the girl he left behind, the past comes rushing back like a tidal wave he can't outrun.
What begins as an awkward reunion turns into a fragile, undeniable pull. As old memories resurface and buried wounds crack open, Eli and Margot are drawn into an intense, bittersweet connection neither of them expected. For a fortnight, they dance between tenderness and regret, between the ache of goodbye and hope of something more.
But two weeks can only hold so much. And when the clock runs out, Eli and Margot will have to face the hardest question of all: can you ever truly come home --- or are some loves meant to live only in memory?
Fortnight is a haunting, intimate story about lost chances, the weight of time, and the people we carry with is long after they're gone.

Found Again 🌙
After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.Complete
