There's a silence in hospitals that cuts deeper than any wound-an unspoken weight carried in every breath and every monitor's steady beep. For Leila, nursing is more than a profession; it's a journey through grief, resilience, and the fragile spaces where hope flickers amid pain. Haunted by her mother's battle with cancer and forged by long nights in sterile wards, she learns that healing isn't just about medicine-it's about showing up, staying present when others can't.
But beneath the white coats and quiet hallways, Leila's heart is tangled in the past. Two former loversJones, steady and familiar, and Daniel, intense and unpredictable-reappear, forcing her to confront old wounds and new desires. Torn between memories and the future she's trying to build, Leila must decide whether to let go or risk everything for a chance at love again.
Beyond the Bandages is a raw, poignant exploration of pain hidden beneath the surface, the courage it takes to stand in another's storm, and the quiet strength found in choosing to stay-both for her patients and for herself.

Chasing What Could Be

As graduation approaches and their paths diverge, Jake must come to terms with the complexities of unrequited love. In this heartfelt exploration of friendship, longing, and self-discovery, Jake learns that true love sometimes means letting go-and that the greatest acts of love may come from the distance that life inevitably creates.Concluida
Steady Little Boat
After losing the only boy she has ever loved, Jackie must find a way out of the spider web of grief and memory, and hold to the delicate hope of moving forward. ***** Jackie never pictured raising her daughter without Andy by her side. He was supposed to be the finish line, the one she'd always come back to, but the universe always finds a way of turning your life upside down. After a devastating accident takes him away, Jackie is left grasping for a lifeline, trapped in a world filled with memories she can't recover. Leaving home seems like the only choice, but distance can't make the memories disappear or calm the ache of every 'what if'. It doesn't make the pain go away. But love doesn't end with goodbye, or with death. It just changes shape. ***** BENNINGTON COLLEGE #1.5 © 2025 caterina george // all rights reserved
The Stillness Between Two Hearts
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑇𝑤𝑜 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 Kai lives like the world doesn't touch him-late nights, forgotten classes, and memories he doesn't talk about. When his mother forces him to start visiting his dying grandmother in the hospital every weekend, he doesn't expect much to change. Until he meets Mira. Room-bound and quietly brave, Mira is a girl who's lived more years inside hospital walls than out. She writes poems she never reads aloud and dreams of rooftops she might never reach. She's fighting a battle she rarely speaks of-and she stays, while everyone else leaves. In the stillness between IV drips and heart monitors, two strangers find a rhythm of their own. As Mira's condition worsens and Kai's grief deepens, they cling to starlit secrets, shared music, and the fragile beauty of a connection they never saw coming. Some love stories are built on forever. Theirs begins in borrowed time.Concluida

Found Again 🌙
After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.Concluida
