A love twist

When you have shared you life with someone for 45 years, how do you cope with their death? Do you wallow in pity, blame the universe, ask your daughters for help or ditch them to visit Hawaii alone at 75? Or all of these? When the only person you have truly ever loved dumps you, what do you do? Of course, you just take the Hawaii vacation for two and turn it into a solo trip! A little too late self-discovery trip by an old lady turns into a lesson in letting go when she meets a young man who reminds her of her late partner and makes her wish to have a son like that. Crippled by personal losses, they teach each other that life may be worth living after all. Join them, you may learn something about yourself along the way. ***SELECTED FOR THE "LongList" OF THE General Fiction CATEGORY OF @YourStoryIndia COMPETITION*** ***General Fiction- #111***

Romance

Kalani is going through it. She's struggling to lessen her codependency on sports (per her therapists suggestion) while simultaneously coping with her poor mental health, while also coping with her mothers death and her twin brothers return to her fathers household. She thinks it can't get any worse until she overhears a bet going on, that involves her being targeted and seduced by a 'bad' boy, Santiago, who everyone seems to like, including her brother and maybe even her. She doesn't know what's going to happen if she even gives him a smidge of attention, so she sets out to ignore him. However, things don't go to plan as she finds him living in her house early on into the duration of the bet, after some family drama. My oh my, what will happen to Miss Aukai?
