In His Eyes
What if the boy you left behind became the man you couldn't resist? Cara Lawson never forgot her childhood best friend, Leo Hart-the sweet, chubby boy with a heart of gold and laughter that lit up her darkest days. They shared everything: late-night talks, secret hideouts, and silent feelings neither of them dared to confess. But when Cara's world turned upside down at fifteen, a sudden move tore them apart without warning... and without goodbye. Years later, Cara walks onto the campus of Ridgewell University, ready for a fresh start-new goals, new friends, and a clean slate. What she doesn't expect is the tall, broad-shouldered stranger with stormy eyes and a grin that makes her heart stumble. He knows her name. He knows her favorite color. He knows how she liked her peanut butter sandwiches in fifth grade. Because he's Leo. But this isn't the boy she left behind. This Leo is confident, charming, and impossibly attractive-no trace of the shy, round-faced kid from her memories. And while Cara struggles to reconcile the past with the present, Leo hasn't forgotten a thing. Not the way she smiled when she was nervous. Not the way it broke him when she left. And certainly not the feelings he buried deep the day she disappeared. As they navigate the twists of university life, old sparks flicker-and new ones ignite. But with past wounds, unspoken truths, and lingering questions between them, can Cara and Leo find their way back to what was never truly lost? Or will fear keep them from saying the words that could change everything? In His Eyes is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance about second chances, rediscovery, and the kind of love that never really fades.Lengkap![The Slowest Kind of Love 2: Ruin Me Softly [ViewMim]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399296777-256-k115486.jpg)

Unwritten Pages
I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Lengkap

What Was Left Unsaid (Friendship #2)
Hello, my lovely readers 💕 This story continues from Between Two Worlds-introducing familiar faces and the threads that tie them together. While Book 2 follows some of the same characters, it's written as a standalone-so you can dive in without reading the first book. For those who have read Between Two Worlds, you'll discover deeper layers, hidden scars, and the tangled connections that shaped these lives. Janice Reynolds has everything she ever dreamed of-a rising career as a fashion designer in New York, a charming boyfriend, and a picture-perfect life. But when a wedding invitation pulls her back to London, she finds herself face-to-face with Tom-the boy with tousled hair, warm brown eyes... and the one almost kiss she never forgot. Neither of them reached out. Neither of them moved on. But some stories don't end just because they paused. Now, between wedding chaos, champagne secrets, and old friends colliding, Janice and Tom must decide if they were always meant to be more than a missed moment. Because sometimes, love doesn't come twice. Sometimes-it waits.Lengkap
The Pieces You Left Me (Book 2)
Leo is learning how to breathe again. Maddie is still the calm in his storm. They're older now-changed by time, by pain, by everything they've fought to survive. But some things don't change. Like the way he looks at her. Like the way she always knows what he needs, even when he doesn't. This is a story about love that grows with you. About holding space for someone even when it hurts. About choosing each other-again and again-even when the world keeps pulling you apart. And maybe... about finding your way back when you never really let go. Story Snippet: ---- And she hasn't looked at me in twenty minutes. I know it's not personal. I know she's not trying to be cold. But it feels like I'm on the outside of something I didn't even know I could be outside of. I swallow hard and move toward her before I can talk myself out of it. She glances up as I approach, blinking like she didn't expect me to come over. Her smile flickers but doesn't quite fade. I reach for the hem of her hoodie and tug on it lightly-just enough for her to feel it. "Maddie," I say, quietly. "I really don't like this." Her body stills. She looks at me, really looks at me now, and the sound of the others fades a little. Her eyes soften, but her shoulders don't drop. Not yet. ---- Continuation of "The Softest Parts of Me" Book 1 I highly suggest reading the first book before this one!!! I post Chapter Updates daily! (cover pic is from pinterest)Lengkap
