From any outsider's point of view, Lylie's life was a fairy tale. And quite frankly, they were right. Everything seemed to happen just the way it was supposed to. The only problem was, no one told the part where the excitement of perfection was about as thrilling as a pendulum clock. And just as predictable. To her, happy ever after was a bore.
The day she attends her first day of university, Lylie is overwhelmed. She dreamed of the adventure of a lifetime, but God only knows she's in for a whole lot more than she bargained for.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
