ONE SHOT STORY!!!
In a small café where the rain never seems to stop, Ellie and Hayes always find themselves meeting-no plans, no words exchanged beforehand. Just as usual.
Ellie, The quiet girl who spends her free time in a café. Hayes, the charming yet distant stranger who always sits across from her. At first, it was nothing but stolen glances. Then, small talk. Then, moments that felt like they could last forever.
They don't know why fate keeps pulling them together. Coincidence, or something more? But sometimes, the most ordinary routines are where the most extraordinary love stories begin.

It's about the moments that change everything- and the silence that comes after.Complete
The Unseen Love.
[EDITING IN PROCESS] Anna has always existed quietly. In the back row of the classroom. Behind her glasses. Between attendance sheets and exam ranks. She is the class monitor everyone depends on, but no one truly sees. A shy high school girl with a soft heart and a mind full of unspoken words, Anna's world is made of silence, routine, and emotions she never dares to voice. Except when it comes to Kaith. Kaith is everything Anna is not-warm, noticeable, effortlessly present. He laughs easily, lives freely, and moves through life unaware of the quiet girl who memorizes his habits, notices his moods, and carries his presence like a secret she can never share. To Kaith, Anna is just another name in the class register. To Anna, Kaith is every rainy afternoon, every unsent confession, every hope hidden behind a polite smile. Her days are filled with small moments that mean everything to her and nothing to him-shared classrooms, accidental glances, unreturned feelings, and a love that exists only because she allows it to. But silence never stays quiet forever. As friendships shift, unexpected connections form, and another presence enters her life, Anna is forced to confront the truth she's avoided for far too long: Will her unseen love finally be acknowledged... or will it remain just another feeling the world walks past? Unseen Love is a soft, slow-burn high school romance about quiet hearts, one-sided affection, and the pain of loving someone who doesn't know you exist. It's for every girl who felt invisible. For every crush that stayed unspoken. For every love that lived in silence.

He's quiet, brooding, and clearly wants nothing to do with her... until he does. As the days pass, Ellie and Liam find themselves pulled into each other's worlds-reluctantly at first, then all at once. But love built on borrowed time comes with a choice: walk away when the thirty days are up... or risk everything to stay.

Until the day the truth stared her in the face-and she could no longer look away. Reeling from heartbreak, Cassidy stumbles through the quiet ache of her days, convincing herself she can survive on routine alone. Work. Coffee. Sleep. Repeat. But life has other plans.

Killian is nothing like Sloan. Rough around the edges, steady in ways that feel foreign, he asks for nothing-yet offers presence where silence once pressed too heavy. But Cassidy's heart is tangled in years of love and loss. To let go is to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, forgiveness, and herself. In this slow-burn romance about endings, beginnings, and the fragile space in between, Cassidy must learn that sometimes the quietest moments reveal the loudest truths.Complete
