He was a boy of music and silence.
A violinist whose body was slowly betraying him-turning muscle into bone, locking him inside himself with every passing day.
Arden Vale had the rarest disease in the world and a heart full of bitterness to match it. He wasn't looking for love. He wasn't looking for hope. He was just trying not to crumble before the world forgot him.
Then came Selene Vargas -reckless, stubborn, and alive in all the ways he wasn't. She didn't pity him. She didn't treat him like glass. She laughed at his sarcasm, pushed past his walls, and made him dream of a life that was slipping through his fingers.
But love doesn't stop time.
Love doesn't cure broken bodies.
And love isn't always enough to fight the inevitable.
This is a story about a boy who turned to stone, a girl who refused to let him break alone, and the last symphony that bound them together forever.

Loving in Monochrome: The Girl I Saw That Day
"He saw the world in black and white... until he met the girl who loved in every color." Aiden Castillo never believed in fate - only in timing, and how often it betrayed him. High school was a blur of laughter, failed crushes, and questions about what *real love* should feel like. But everything changed when he stepped into college - a new world, new faces, and one familiar name that never left his memory: "Selene Villarez". From awkward texts and first ice cream dates, to quiet nights under the city lights - their story grew in unspoken words and half-meant glances. She was a mystery, a girl who loved both men and women, and yet made Aiden feel seen for the first time. But love, like all fragile things, isn't always painted in color. Sometimes it blooms in shades of gray - between friendship and romance, hope and heartbreak. This is the story of how it all began. A story of first love, almost love, and the moments that made Aiden believe that even monochrome can be beautiful.
Lost in Us
Lost in Us Rose never believed in love-not the kind that leaves you breathless, not the kind that rewrites your soul. Love was a risk she couldn't afford, a vulnerability too dangerous to entertain. Until Noah. Quiet. Guarded. A boy who let no one in-until her. Through stolen glances and unspoken understandings, they built something fragile in the spaces between words. Something real enough to change them both, yet neither knew how to hold it. Now, they are strangers. Two people who once meant everything to each other, now passing by without a glance. But Rose isn't ready to let go. Not yet. Not until she understands why. As she searches for answers, she finds herself in a battle between holding on and moving forward. Because sometimes, love isn't enough. And sometimes, the hardest lesson of all is knowing when to walk away. This is a story about the love that changes you-the kind that lingers long after it should have faded. About learning when to hold on and when to let go. And ultimately, about discovering that the most important love story isn't the one you shared with someone else, but the one you build with yourself. Lost in Us is about the love that breaks you open-and the strength you find in putting yourself back together. (For anyone who's ever loved deeply... and had to love themselves more.)Complete
Waiting for You Forever
She had it all-his love, his trust, his unwavering heart. But in a moment of weakness, she chose a path that shattered everything. Her betrayal wasn't just of a promise; it was of a soul deeply entwined with hers. When he discovered the truth, he left-not in anger, but in silence, carrying the pain like a wound too deep to ever heal. He never looked back, and he never returned. She begged for forgiveness, haunted by the weight of what she had done. Days turned into months, months into years, yet her heart remained chained to a hope that refused to die. Every knock at the door, every passing shadow stirred a flicker of belief-maybe today, he'll come back. But he never did. Now she lives with the ghost of her choices, trapped in an endless cycle of regret and longing. His absence echoes louder than any goodbye, and though the world moved on, she stood still-forever waiting for the love she lost, and the forgiveness that never came.
