What if your first love was never meant to last... but never meant to be forgotten?

In the small town of Blackwater, where summers blur into memories and time seems to stand still, June Miller meets Eli Reyes - a quiet, artistic boy who sees the world in color while she's still learning how to be seen at all.

One golden season binds them together. Through shared lemonades, sketchbooks, whispered poems, and late-night walks under starlit skies, they create a world of their own. But life doesn't pause - not even for love. As dreams pull them in different directions, June and Eli must face the truth: growing up sometimes means growing apart.

Told with poetic tenderness and aching honesty, A Pause Between Summers is a coming-of-age love story about the people who shape us, the places we outgrow, and the memories that never quite let go.All Rights Reserved

Our Last Summer by 13_TheBlackDog

"Some summers are meant to last forever, even if only in our memories." In the final summer before everything changes, Alex and Seina reunite in the small beach town where they once spent their childhood together. Every year, they would spend their days at Seina's family's beach house-surfing in the mornings, sitting by the bonfire at night, and dreaming of a future filled with endless possibilities. But this summer is different. Alex has just received a scholarship to study in New York, and this may be his last time here. Meanwhile, Seina is forced to face a harsh truth about her family-one that might mean she'll never return to this place again. As long-buried emotions rise to the surface, Alex and Seina must confront the biggest question of all: Will they let this summer become just a memory, or will they fight to hold onto it? But as the past, love, and family secrets begin to unravel, the happiness of this summer is slowly overshadowed by the realization that some things are meant to end.
