"Please, don't leave me." Arlene's boyfriend pleaded with her.
"I'll be back, when you have forgotten all about me."
Arlene wrapped her arms around Oliver and hugged him.
"I will never forget you. I promise, Arlene, I will never love anyone like I have loved you."
"Don't look for me, because you won't find me."
With that, she walked into the rain and didn't look back.
That was the last time anyone ever saw her.

THE ART OF AK
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.

But then her friend from work, Emily, invites her to church camp, and Rain agrees to go. What will she think when the youth pastor contradicts everything she ever thought to be true? The earth was created in 7 days, including a day for the Lord to rest, he says. And now these 7 days of Encounter Camp are about to change Rain's whole perspective. || first book in the "Encounter" series ||Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Yours, still.
They weren't supposed to meet like this- on a swing, in a park, between coffee jitters and emotional damage. She wore a hoodie. He wore a smile that forgot things. And somewhere between the jokes, the near-death rescue, and the carved arrow... their story started telling itself again. Not everything was clear. Not every memory returned. But hearts? They tend to recognize each other- even when the brain hasn't caught up yet. And if an arrow appears- carved in wood, buried in stone- you follow it. Even if it leads straight back into the chaos.
