Mallory has a mission, a purpose, an end in sight. She doesn't need fun or distractions. She's driven and focused to the point of inattention to any and all things going on around her.
And that's how it happens. One moment she's checking her mail before heading to her last class of the day, and the next she's staring at the remains of her emotional support coffee all over her shirt, the floor, and the handsome neighbor she's never even noticed until today.
His presence in her life is a nuisance and the absolute last thing she would have wanted, but maybe, just maybe, he might be something she needed.

Open Novella Contest (ONC2026), prompt 19: when you accidentally spill coffee on someone, the moment that should've ruined your day becomes the beginning of a surprising and life changing friendship.
I told myself I wasn't going to do it, I wasn't going to attempt two novellas at once when I have so many other things started. But clearly the muse is strong and the will is weak.

Kur dashuria nuk mjafton
Ky libër nuk është thjesht një histori dashurie. Është rrëfimi i një vajze që u dashurua thellë... u besua shumë... u thye ngadalë... dhe u rrit mes dhimbjes që askush nuk e pa. Nga mosha 17 deri 18, ajo jetoi një dashuri që nuk kishte zë, nuk kishte takime, por kishte ndjenja që e mbajtën gjallë dhe njëkohësisht e shkatërruan brenda. Është histori për pritje të gjata, për fjalë të pathëna, për besim që u lëkund, për njerëz që nuk qëndruan, dhe për një zemër që mësoi të mbijetojë edhe kur gjithçka u duk e humbur. Ky libër nuk kërkon vetëm të lexohet. Kërkon të ndihet. Dhe ndoshta... dikush do e gjejë veten në çdo faqe.![MAGNETIC LOVE [ONC 2026]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/407700975-256-k931290.jpg)

Alden instantly makes the city feel strangely familiar in ways Teia didn't know she needed. Drawn deeper into Naples' ancient past and her own unsettling sense of déjà vu, the line between coincidence and destiny begin to blur. Staying friends is simpler. But Teia must confront whether destiny is a story we inherit, or one we choose to rewrite, no matter the cost.

Stranded in unfamiliar lands, she's tormented by swarming shadows, her missing father's cries, and the full face of the green moon, Vidias, looming over her.
