Leo Vance, a 29-year-old heir burdened by grief and the weight of his family's legacy, feels utterly disconnected from his life. Elara Thorne is a 19-year-old art student, mature beyond her years due to her own loss, yet vibrant and unapologetically authentic.
Their worlds collide when Elara receives a scholarship from Leo's foundation. A powerful, immediate connection forms, but it is swiftly complicated by a glaring age gap, a scandalous photo, and a conflict of interest that threatens her future. As they navigate judgment from family, colleagues, and the public, their relationship is tested by the immense pressure. Forced apart by a storm of misunderstanding and external forces, they must each confront their own demons-Leo his gilded cage of responsibility, and Elara her fear of being unseen.
"The Currents Between Us" is a story about whether two people from different worlds, weighed down by past grief and present scrutiny, can brave the turbulent waters of perception to build a new, authentic future together.

The Mirror Between Us
*Basically finished but I might add more later on.* Rosetta never meant to end up here - working late-night shifts at a local restaurant, wiping the same tables and trying not to think about the college classes she silently abandoned. Between her mother's cruel remarks, a distant boyfriend, and a voice in her head that never lets her forget she's a dropout, Rosetta's world feels painfully small. But one slow night, a stranger walks in - charming, attentive, and disarmingly kind. What begins as a harmless flirtation over a Reuben sandwich turns into something more unsettling: the feeling of being seen for the first time in a long time. As the conversation deepens, Rosetta finds herself torn between the comfort of his validation and the uneasy reflection she sees in his eyes - one that might reveal more about her own longing, and loneliness than she's ready to face. The Mirror Between Us is a quiet, slow-burn romance about the hunger to be noticed, the dangers of seeing ourselves only through others, and the fragile line between love and self-discovery.Complete
