She came to New York with no plan. No ring. No one waiting.

On the day her sister's life was about to begin, Dana Aldrin quietly ended her own. A broken engagement. A packed suitcase. A drink before everything changed.

She was never supposed to stay.
But once she walked into MacLaren's, everything started to shift-
the friendships, the feelings, the future they thought they understood.

This isn't the story they were expecting.
It's the one they never saw coming.


"I didn't mean to stay," Dana says. "But something about this place feels like an echo I don't want to lose."

The Space Between Us by cmeianaxxviii

Kaevielle Eirlys Balmora and Guiller Aleksander Avaleir never imagined their paths would cross in a way that would change everything. Both caught in the quiet heartbreak of broken relationships, they find themselves as seatmates in nursing school, sharing subtle gestures, small smiles, and fleeting conversations - nothing more... at first. As life unexpectedly pulls them together through family connections and coincidental trips abroad, what started as quiet companionship slowly blossoms into something neither of them can ignore. From shared laughter in class to intimate, stolen moments in the privacy of their worlds, their bond grows - patiently, secretly, and beautifully. Through late-night coffees, whispered confessions, and the comfort of just being with each other, Guiller and Kaevielle discover that love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it's quiet. Sometimes, it's gentle. And sometimes, it's been right beside you all along. Will the space between them finally disappear - or will fear and hesitation keep them apart?

Somewhere with you by Justread_04

"You can run from your past, but sometimes, love finds you exactly where you're trying to start over." After graduating college, Lily Carter leaves Illinois behind - the chaos, the pain, and the father who turned "home" into a place she never wanted to be. Now she's in coastal North Carolina with her mom, a new job at the courthouse, and one rule: no distractions. Then there's Beau Landry - the neighbor next door with quiet eyes and a past that runs just as deep as hers. He's got a protective streak, a rough edge, and a group of friends who make Lily feel something she hasn't felt in years: safe. But safety turns to something else when late nights and long drives blur the lines between healing and falling. He's everything she shouldn't want - and the only one who makes her feel like she finally belongs. When Beau's ex shows up and the past starts knocking, Lily will have to decide if she's ready to stop running - and risk everything for the one person who feels like home. A story about finding peace after the storm, healing through love, and realizing that "somewhere with you" can be the best place in the world.
