They say starting over means leaving the past behind - but nobody ever talks about how hard it is to walk away from the things that once made you feel alive. The person that made you feel alive.

Cy'mere wants better. She wants quiet mornings, steady breathing, a version of herself that doesn't flinch at memories. She's trying to rebuild her life piece by piece - to stay clean, to stay calm, to believe she deserves something gentle.

Everything I Couldn't Leave

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I by CLFarron1022

It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.

Romance And A Shot Of Espresso by Thetavernbookclub

Cynthia thought she was done with love the day Marcus walked out-without a word, without a goodbye. Years later, she's built a life she controls: her own indie coffee shop, a peaceful routine, and walls no one ever breaches. Then Marcus shows up. ...with her old college best friend Julie on his arm. And that's just the beginning. Because Luke-Cynthia's first almost-love, her once-safe place-is now dating the woman Marcus left her for. Vanessa. Everyone's moved on. Everyone... except her. When old sparks flare and buried secrets rise, Cynthia must choose: closure... or a second chance at the love she never forgot. Four hearts, two betrayals, and one question: can love survive what time tried to erase?

Love In The Shadow by amirina1701

Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

Second Sunrise by mx0bee

After a fatal car crash, Raven opens her eyes to find herself back in her old apartment-alive, breathing, and years before the night everything began to fall apart. Once, she'd met a man named Chris at a jazz bar and mistook their spark for something that could last forever. Now, given a second chance, she's determined to change the story-to choose herself this time. But Raven isn't the only one who's been pulled back. Chris remembers everything too: the laughter, the fights, the love that rotted at the edges. To him, this is fate offering redemption-a chance to make things right, to prove their love was never the problem. As their paths cross again, what follows isn't a rekindling but a reckoning. Raven begins to rebuild her life from the ashes of what could've been, discovering joy, freedom, and love that doesn't ask her to shrink. Chris learns that sometimes healing means letting go of the version of love you once believed in.

In Between Us by chubbymeggy

We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.
