Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

MOON
"Just like the moon you are. Shining so bright in the darkness of the night. Reflecting one's shadow. Like the mirror, you're giving off beauty to a beauty, madness to a madness, heartbeat to a heartbeat, misery to a misery. You are nothing but my own reflection" He said, looking at me sideways. I stare at him deeply. It was so unexpected of him to say something in a metaphorical way, especially in this time of an event. "Always remember, we are under the same sky, looking at the same moon." I replied anyway... The story follows a teenage girl, stuck with her own, pathetic thoughts.

In His Eyes
What if the boy you left behind became the man you couldn't resist? Cara Lawson never forgot her childhood best friend, Leo Hart-the sweet, chubby boy with a heart of gold and laughter that lit up her darkest days. They shared everything: late-night talks, secret hideouts, and silent feelings neither of them dared to confess. But when Cara's world turned upside down at fifteen, a sudden move tore them apart without warning... and without goodbye. Years later, Cara walks onto the campus of Ridgewell University, ready for a fresh start-new goals, new friends, and a clean slate. What she doesn't expect is the tall, broad-shouldered stranger with stormy eyes and a grin that makes her heart stumble. He knows her name. He knows her favorite color. He knows how she liked her peanut butter sandwiches in fifth grade. Because he's Leo. But this isn't the boy she left behind. This Leo is confident, charming, and impossibly attractive-no trace of the shy, round-faced kid from her memories. And while Cara struggles to reconcile the past with the present, Leo hasn't forgotten a thing. Not the way she smiled when she was nervous. Not the way it broke him when she left. And certainly not the feelings he buried deep the day she disappeared. As they navigate the twists of university life, old sparks flicker-and new ones ignite. But with past wounds, unspoken truths, and lingering questions between them, can Cara and Leo find their way back to what was never truly lost? Or will fear keep them from saying the words that could change everything? In His Eyes is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance about second chances, rediscovery, and the kind of love that never really fades.Complete
