Their First, And Last
They say everyone finds love at least once. But what if... she never did? She didn't stop believing in it- she just never got it. Not the kind you read about. Not the kind that stays. She loved deeply, silently, and selflessly... but life never loved her back the same way. And he-he wasn't searching for anyone. He didn't even know what love looked like until he looked at her. And suddenly, he just knew. This isn't a story of second chances. There was never a first. This is the beginning they never expected- when two lonely hearts crash softly, and build a kind of love that feels like home for the very first time. It's not her last... It's her first, too. And maybe... finally... her always.
Something We Shouldn't
"Tell me to stop," he whispered. "And I will." "But I don't want to," she breathed. Some lines, once crossed, don't disappear. ____________________________________________________________ She was married. He was younger. And neither of them meant for it to go this far. After losing her daughter, Emily's life became a quiet act-numb days, an absent husband, and a house too quiet to call home. Grief hangs in the walls, and her heart hasn't felt anything in years. Until Jake. He's younger. Gentle. He looks at her like she's still someone worth loving. What starts as cautious conversation turns into stolen glances, soft touches, and a kiss that changes everything. Now Emily must choose: stay loyal to the life she promised... or follow the spark she thought she'd lost forever. Can you mourn what was and still reach for what could be? A slow-burn, emotionally charged forbidden romance about grief, rediscovery, and the moments that change everything.![The Edge Of Forgiveness [Season 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393688430-256-k968282.jpg)

This is a story about unexpected bonds, slow trust, quiet comfort, and the kind of relationship that grows with time. There's teasing, arguments, healing, and a whole lot of moments that mean more than they seem. Sometimes love doesn't start with grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins when someone just... Stays.Complete
