Elise is a French Literature student living in Lyon, France, and finds herself in the middle of November at the lowest point of her depression. It will have been two weeks that she hasn't been to a single one of her classes, nor has she seen anybody but her boyfriend who, to her regret, only came to see her once.
One day, as she was wallowing in her apartment, the young woman receives a call from her mother who asks her to take care of her younger sister for an afternoon. She half-heartedly accepts and takes little Amélie to see an expo about de St. Exupéry's work, The Little Prince; a story which enchanted Elise's childhood and that she forgot as she grew up.
There she will meet Antoine, the museum's storyteller, a passionate, princely young man who will know how to see that within Elise's sadness is hidden a broken soul which deserves to be protected and covered in nothing but gold and happiness.
Maybe some day, she'll see that herself.

It's an excerpt from Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables". He says: "The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only." I slowly lifted my head towards Collin and I saw him locking his eyes on mine. It was that same glance I just read. It was so evident in him and I could feel it upon me. I became instantly vulnerable and when he pressed his lips to mine, time froze and an explosive ecstasy overwhelmed our whole beings. *** Jamie grew up in Green Hill, where she devoted herself entirely to painting, turning it into her career. Known for her creativity and the abstraction of her art, she gained a certain success that had made her traveling from city to city. At the peak of her career, temporarily staying in a place called Chaston for a few weeks, she met Collin - a charming young man whose appeal was difficult to overlook. Their first meeting felt like a spontaneous intense chemistry, none of them could fight back. Chaston was the beginning of a new adventure but will this shared and intimate energy last longer or forever, knowing she wouldn't stay there for long? "See you again" is a rich literary translated work filled with life turmoils and psychological transformations that will bring you shivers and emotions. Well, at least I hope so. • Original French title: Elle •Kumpleto
Rêveries
Three years after losing her brother, Céline comes back to Monaco to stay with her childhood friends, but it's clear they they've grown plenty since they used to live next door. She finds herself dealing with new friendships, relationships and situations all on her own - without the help of her brother. Would her brother like who she fell in love with? Is her best friend going to be okay with it? The pressure from social media is tough, but she wants to believe she's tougher. Disclaimer 1: It is a long story about different issues and feelings or struggles you might meet as you're growing older, the main character does have a lot of anxiety and I've noticed that some people find her annoying at times, and I understand. Anxiety is annoying in so many ways, but even more so to the person suffering from it. While Céline is a ficitional character and won't see your comments or anything, other poeple with anxiety might. Be thoughtful when commenting, and if you can't relate to her at all then congratulations. (also some of her experiences are my own and how I thought, felt and acted lol I've gotten my feelings hurt in these comments a lot hahahha) Disclaimer 2: I don't speak French. Swedish or Italian, so the italics is the translation that I suggest you read instead of the French or Italian that might be there lol.Kumpleto
shattered souls
𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?Kumpleto

Almost, Maybe.
Elise Miller never planned on missing her flight. But when a layover in Paris turns into an unexpected detour involving dusty bookshelves, a way too charming stranger, and the kind of conversation that makes your heart race but plans start to fall apart. Christian Archer was supposed to be a temporary distraction. Her friend's older brother. Quiet. Intense. A man who doesn't believe in relationships because he's seen too many fall apart. But something about Elise disarms him and before either of them can admit what's happening, he vanishes without a word. Eight months later, Elise has picked up the pieces. Sort of. With her final year of college, an internship, and a best friend who won't let her wallow, she's starting to feel like herself again. She's even warming up to someone new...until Christian crashes back into her life at the worst possible time. Now, nothing feels simple. He says he was protecting her. She says he ran away. And in the middle of all the jealousy, misunderstandings, emotional walls, and late-night confessions - there's still something between them neither of them can explain or escape. One missed flight. Two brothers. A second chance no one expected. Sometimes, the hardest person to forgive... is the one who never really left your heart.

Gray has no idea he's even there. ── When he finally rids himself of the mafia that screwed him over, Gray turns his attention toward a new rising power; a Japanese syndicate known as the Vipers. Their sovereign is a feared figure. One that people say is a terribly beautiful man with eyes of sapphire blue. The same man whose gaze never strays from his heart's desire.
