They were never official. Never labeled. Never quite had the timing right.
But Carson and Julia were something-once. A deep, undeniable connection that lingered long after high school ended and real life began.
Years later, fate throws them back into each other's orbit. Now engaged to other people and raising children who aren't biologically theirs, they find comfort in reconnecting, texting late into the night, and admitting the truths they never could back then.
Old habits resurface. Flirting turns to confessions. Promises that should never be made begin to take shape. And when the weight of what if becomes too much, they make a dangerous agreement: one night. One final moment to say goodbye to the past they never had.
No one ever has to know. It's their final secret.
But some goodbyes leave a mark you never forget.

The Love That Ruined Me
Started: 10/28/2025 Ended: I knew he was married, but I still let myself fall. We were friends before his wife came, not close, not strangers either. We never said what we truly felt, maybe because we were afraid to give it meaning. But fate played its cruel trick. We ended up living in the same boarding house, different rooms, the same secret. We both knew it was wrong, yet we crossed the line anyway. He was my first, my first love, my first sin, my first heartbreak. I thought I could handle it, but loving him was slowly destroying me. So I did the only thing that could save what was left of me. I left him. Because sometimes, walking away doesn't mean you stopped loving. It just means you've finally learned to love yourself.

After All these Years
After All These Years "To the girl who turned off the fan... and unknowingly showed me the world could be a better place." Arthur never forgot her. Not the girl who stood up for him when no one else did. Not the quiet mornings they shared in a dusty third-grade classroom. And certainly not the way her kindness saved him; without even realizing it. Now, nine years later, he's changed. Hardened by the silence of hostel life, shaped by survival, masked by jokes and rank cards. But deep down, a thread remains, one that still tugs at the name he never dared to say aloud for years: Diana. When a rare opportunity arises to return to his old school through a secretive project, Arthur sees more than a leadership role; he sees a chance to reconnect with the past that never truly let him go. What begins as a quiet plan grows into something far more complicated, testing friendships, exposing old wounds, and stirring feelings he's tried to bury. This is not a love story in the traditional sense. It's a story of memory, longing, quiet strength and the hope that sometimes, the people who once saved us might still be out there, waiting.Complete
