🌙 Veil of Escape
by Jhezshanel
Elara Celestine Valez once believed that love could save her - until it became the very thing that broke her. After a betrayal that shattered her heart and her faith, she runs from the ruins of her past, carrying nothing but memories and the faint hope of starting again.
But healing isn't as simple as leaving.
The ghosts of yesterday still follow her - in every tear, every silence, every sleepless night. Yet beneath her pain, something begins to awaken: strength.
In a world that once made her feel small, Elara is learning to stand tall again - to rise, to rebuild, to live for herself. And just when she swears love no longer has a place in her heart, fate begins to weave a new story - one that may lead her to someone who sees her not as broken, but as beautifully reborn.
Because sometimes, the greatest escape isn't from the world...
It's from the version of yourself you no longer need to be.

The Weather of Us
He met her in a storm. He found her hair tie on the ground. He returned it the next day like it meant something. After getting dumped in the middle of a train station downpour, Elara Hayes is officially done with romance, heartbreak, and boys who fold at the first sign of feelings. What she doesn't expect is the stranger watching her from across the platform - or the fact that he finds the pink hair tie she dropped and keeps it like it matters. Kade Vance wasn't planning on following her to a café the next morning. He wasn't planning on crossing the room, handing back the hair tie, and asking if she's okay in that rough, quiet voice that sounds like thunder about to break. But storms have a way of pulling people toward each other. She's soft and chaotic - raised between divorced parents who treat feelings like ammunition. He's calm and dangerous - the boy everyone warns her about, the one who watches the world like he's always waiting for it to hit first. They weren't supposed to collide again. They definitely weren't supposed to fall this fast. But when her family dinner explodes and Kade texts her at the exact moment she breaks, everything shifts. Too fast. Too intense. Too much. Exactly like the weather. Now Elara's trying to figure out why a stranger feels safer than her own family, and Kade's trying to hide how hard he's already fallen. Because the truth is simple: She's the calm after his storm. He's the storm she's been waiting for. And some people don't just meet - they collide.
