Staring.

Sounds innocent enough

Google describes it as to gaze fixedly and intently, especially with one's eyes wide open.

Teenagers describe it as checking out that guy or girl you really like, or, just because

And bookworms usually prefer staring as, carefully observing from a distance

Well, Danielle Hendriks isn't your average bookworm, also not a normal teenager and sure as hell not Google, 
but
she is a starer and starers tend to look at the right thing at just the right time

Join Danielle on her trip to Goldvalley, a little town in the rolling hills of Mpumalanga as she meets the handsome, mysterious,  reseaving end of her staring and learns the true meaning of taking risks and following stars


-----

Laugh, love and feel as we take a look at the mind of the starer and the usual, stared at



----------

And please my fellow readers

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 ＆ 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Soft Silence by authorem_

"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

I went to school and got average grades. I didn't stand out much and wasn't considered popular or pretty. I was always in the background until one day I wasn't. I was ordinary.. or so I thought? Where did all this attention come from? Do I really deserve it? Or am I always just meant to be in the background?

When my eyes met your gaze!! by _Yukiwrites_

When My Eyes Met Your Gaze is a story about how everything can change in a single heartbeat. For Yuki, it began with one glance - one quiet, soul-deep gaze from a boy named Ren that made the world around her fall away. She didn't plan for the feelings, didn't ask for the connection - but somewhere between stolen glances and words left unsaid, something inside her shifted forever. This isn't a perfect love story. It's raw, soft, and a little bit broken - a story of two people who found each other in silent hallways, in small moments that linger longer than they should. It's about the kind of love that doesn't need grand declarations - just a look across a crowded room, a heartbeat heard in someone's chest, the way your name feels softer when they say it. If you've ever felt something so big it made your chest ache - just from a single look - this story is for you. Based on a true story!! It may feel slow at first - the first four chapters are just the beginning - but when chapter five arrives, you'll feel it too: the language of love that can't be spoken but can be felt, all the way down to your bones.

In Between Glances ( Complete) by kpopstandrv

Title: " In Between Glances" Narrated by Me They say some stories are made up, crafted from imagination and wishful thinking. But this one? This story lived-right in front of my eyes. It begins with my brother Vansh's two best friends: Aryan and Samar. From the outside, they were just friends-inseparable, always laughing, always looking for trouble together. But I saw it. The lingering glances, the soft silences, the way their voices changed when they spoke to each other. It was love. Real love. But neither of them dared to name it. And then, there was Arpit. A calm, quiet guy until he met Mital-a girl who walked in like a burst of sunshine. Bubbly, loud, and a little too chaotic for someone like him. And yet, somehow, their worlds collided... and love bloomed. This is their story. And I'm just the one lucky enough to watch it unfold. ---

The Bizarre Files from Aksamala's Twisted Mind II by ArindraArindraArindr

I know you didn't come back out of longing. You came back out of curiosity. Because in the first book, I deliberately left some doors closed. Or maybe-just maybe-you're reading this because you're still single and lonely. Relax. Lonely people are often the ones who linger the longest in someone else's story. Especially when the story is messier than their own life. In these book, I open just enough for you to peek in- but never enough for you to feel at ease.

Avni : His Silent Light by wherelove_bleeds

He held up his hands, trying to sound casual, but the sight stopped her cold-blood smeared across his fingers, dark and fresh. "Relax, it's nothing," he said smoothly, his voice trying to soothe, but her heart pounded in stark disbelief. Her eyes widened, fixed on the crimson stains, a silent scream caught in her throat. Horror dripped from every glance. "Nothing? You killed him," she whispered, voice barely steady, trembling with a mixture of fear and accusation. "You're a murderer." He scoffed, a cold shadow flickering in his unreadable eyes. "Don't insult me wifey. I'm above that." The weight of his words pressed down like a guillotine as she steadied herself, voice sharp with defiance. "I'll tell everyone. I won't marry you." A slow, cruel smile curved his lips as he leaned in, his breath ghosting against her ear like a deadly promise. "Will you? Go ahead-tell everyone. I'll destroy everything you hold dear, just like your telling would destroy mine. We'll go down together." He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a chilling whisper. "And as for not marrying me... oh wifey , you don't get to choose. You'll be mine-whether it's in a wedding dress, or buried in a legend". He wasn't supposed to pull her in-didn't even understand why he was drawn to her. She wasn't the most beautiful, but something beneath the surface called to him. A ruthless heir haunted by betrayal, he never let strangers close... yet he craved to keep her. ☆☆☆☆
