"Chasing Grace"
(A When He Forgot Us Spin-Off)
Matteo DeLuca has everything under control.
A lucrative career as the right-hand man to one of the youngest CEOs in the world.
A reputation as the witty, untouchable, always-put-together charmer everyone loves... and nobody really knows.
Then comes Grace Carter
The quiet, spiritual godmother of his goddaughter Amirah - and the only woman who's ever looked him dead in the eye, smiled politely, and walked away like she didn't just make his heart skip a beat.
She's kind. Poised. Devoted to her family and her faith.
And she absolutely refuses to give him the time of day.
But Matteo's never backed down from a challenge before.
What starts as a playful chase quickly turns into something deeper - forcing both of them to confront what they're really afraid of: love that doesn't fit the picture they thought they wanted.
She's running from the mess she sees behind his smile.
He's determined to show her he's more than just a charming face.
And somewhere between late-night texts, stolen moments, and unexpected confessions, Matteo realizes...
Grace might just be the one thing he can't control.
And maybe - just maybe - he doesn't want to.
---
Tropes & vibes:
# Grumpy x graceful (but really... he's the sunshine, she's the calm).
# "Stop dodging me, angel."
# Banter. Banter. Banter.
# Spiritual meets sinful - and learns it's okay to meet in the middle.
# Matteo showing surprising emotional depth beneath the suit and smirk.

The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you.
