She wasn't looking for anything at the potluck-just a plate of food and maybe a seat far from small talk.
He wasn't supposed to be there either.
But then came the cream shirt, the chicken wings, and the kind of laughter that wraps around your ribcage and stays.
It wasn't fireworks.
It wasn't fate.
It was something quieter.
Something that lived in hand brushes, almost-hugs, and the pause before "goodbye."
In the stillness between shared spaces and unspoken things, she let herself hope.
Now, with nothing left but old messages and the shirt he never asked back for, she's trying to unlearn what his silence taught her.
Because sometimes, the hardest part of falling isn't the crash.
It's the echo.

The Age Gap Rule
Klarisse flew to London for work, not love. But everything changes when she walks into a quiet coffee shop and meets Brent-the charming barista who makes the city feel a little less foreign and her days a little brighter. What begins with coffee and casual conversation slowly turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But with time running out and reality waiting back home... Will their story end with a goodbye-or will love find a way to stay?
My BIG FAT MESS Called Life
My name's Jules Carter, and I'm one broken scooter, two jobs, and three mental breakdowns away from losing it completely. Between a cat with attitude, an aunt who treats me like free labor, and an ice cream shop full of teenage drama, I keep telling myself "It's going to be a good day." Spoiler: it usually isn't. Then I nearly ran over a gorgeous runner, lost my phone, and somehow ended up being saved by a quiet mechanic with too many piercings and not enough sleep. My life's a mess-but maybe it's the kind that's finally leading somewhere.
A Flash of Light
It was meant to be a simple evening. A short walk to a nearby restaurant. A disappointing blind date. A quick awkward dinner. Back home to my book. Gain peace from my meddling friends for a few months, before they'd try to set me up with someone again. If I'd only known how my life was about to change in a flash of light.Completa
The pain in her eyes: Dear younger me
[ COMPLETED ] She wasn't easy to recognise at first, yet she had always been there. Time blurred her face, but her presence lingered - living quietly in places long forgotten. It's strange how the younger version of ourselves can fade, yet remain. Now she stands clear - her voice, her wounds, her loneliness - all still present, all still true. If only someone could go back and rewrite her story, whispering, "It's going to be okay." This is no ordinary book. It's a letter to the younger self we all once knew, and the silent truth behind the pain in her eyes.Completa
Closer Than Words
Some tales of affection aren't loud. They hum softly in the space between heartbeats, in the warmth of a drink left waiting, in the brush of a shoulder on a crowded couch. He is the storm-gray calm the world can't touch, Yet she has always been the quiet exception. She doesn't see the way his gaze softens, The way his silence bends toward her, Until another presence stirs the air between them. But love, real love, often hides in plain sight, In glances that linger too long, in hands that almost reach, In moments that feel like the start of something neither dares to name.
Six Years, Two Hearts, One Lifetime | BreKla
He wasn't supposed to be there. He didn't even like coffee. But his friend had bailed on their lunch plans, and the rain had started without warning, so Brent ducked into the nearest cafe with nothing but wet sleeves and a vague craving for something warm. That's when he saw her. Behind the counter. Laughing at something the barista beside her said. Her head tilted back just slightly, eyes crinkling at the corners, mouth curved in a smile that didn't ask for attention but demanded anyway. ---- He was younger. She could tell. Not by much, maybe five, six years. But enough. Enough that when he flirted, she didn't take it seriously. Enough that when he lingered at the counter, she chalked it up to boredom, not interest. She didn't have time for boys like that. Not when she's still healing from a toxic ex. But he kept coming back.Completa
unrequited ➳ (connor jessup fanfic)
un·re·quit·ed ˌənrəˈkwīdəd/ adjective (of a feeling, especially love) not returned or rewarded. - "You didn't answer my question." I whisper. I wasn't sure why I whispering, but I chalked it up to not wanting to ruin the nonexistent moment. "Nothings wrong." She says in that soft voice of hers. "At least, not at the moment." She adds, whispering. She moved her head a little more into the pillow, causing her hair to fall in front of her face. I couldn't resist the urge to tuck the stands behind her ear. She opened her eyes and looked directly in mine. In that moment, there wasn't anything wrong.Completa
My Teddy
The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}Completa
