He was her comfort zone, her anchor, her home-until he wasn't. Years of unshakable friendship shattered in a single night. How does someone who once meant everything suddenly mean nothing?
As the President's daughter, Hope is used to hiding pain behind perfection. She thought she was finally reclaiming her life. What she didn't realize was that her sense of peace only existed because he was gone.
Now he's back, and with him returns everything she buried.
"All the Things we Hope For" is a haunting exploration of trust, forgiveness, and the kind of love that ruins you- then dares you to hope again.

Never A Choice
"No matter the choices I'm given, it'll always be you, Aurie." He was her best friend, her safe place, her everything-the one person who shared the weight on her shoulders. Every laugh, every secret whispered in the night, every quiet moment that stitched to the fabric of her heart made her feel like the world belonged only to them. But then, in the blink of an eye, he chose someone else. Her world crumbles down. Unaware of the truth behind his decision, Aurora Everhart is left to face the hollow ache of losing him. But as fate pulls her between love and heartbreak, she can't shake the question that still haunts her, 'Was I ever really a choice?' "No one shielded me from the storm the way you did, Ronnie. But now you're leaving me alone with nothing to cover myself." His whole world revolved around her, his only best friend, the one person he thought he knew better than anyone else. He understood her every laugh, every whisper, every unspoken thought...but never the secret she had kept so carefully hidden from him, just as his own heart held truths he hadn't fully understood. Bounded by a promise and terrified of the truth buried deep inside that he refuses to acknowledge, he's forced to choose someone else and leave his Aurie alone in the storm. Will he ever be able to win her back, even after the choices he's made? The two promises that tore his life apart- the one that he still upholds and the other that he failed to keep- whisper words of desolation in his ear: 'I promise to keep you happy, I promise to... marry you' and 'I promise, my baby strawberry, if I'm ever lost, I'll always find my way back to you.' We often think the heart and the brain are at odds, but in their tale, we get to know that hearts themselves are their own fiercest contradictors - stubborn, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.![[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403535900-256-k912889.jpg)
