Two versions of the same moment-one that happened, and one that could've been.
A crush too quiet to name.
A lifeguard too distant to forget.
And a heart still asking, "what if?"

While vacationing out of state, a quiet, thoughtful girl has a fleeting encounter with a beach lifeguard-older, grounded, and emotionally unreadable. She offers him a water. He offers her nothing more than a nod. Yet somehow, that moment stirs something she can't explain.

Back home, far from the ocean and the memory of him, she finds herself haunted by the feeling of almost. Through dreams, journal entries, and half-finished letters she never sends, she uncovers what she's truly longing for-not just him, but the kind of love she saw in his eyes: simple, steady, and real.

A story about quiet longing, missed chances, and how even the briefest connections can echo forever.All Rights Reserved

Before You Replied by darasstories

Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

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.
