An unsuspecting love, an unprolific writer, and a wedding invitation.
27 year old New York publishing agent, Desta Hart, has always carried the preconceived idea of love close by, although half the time she ends up debating its existence. Yet, she's always lived by the motto, "it doesn't hurt to keep dreaming." She's in search of "the one;" someone who not only would supposedly sweep her off her feet, but would finally put her parents notion of finding someone for her to rest. So, when she's invited to the wedding of an old friend, and forced by her mother to go, she goes alone, breaking the one rule that she's had for herself since day one; don't go to a wedding without a date. Desta sure as hell did not expect to find everything she had ever wanted since she was a child to be waiting there for her, but this one wedding changes her life and her idea of love forever.

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. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.

"The Sky We Once Dreamed"
Noah dreamed of touching the skies - not knowing he'd lose the one person who taught him how to reach them. He was the quiet boy no one noticed, with eyes full of dreams and pockets full of nothing. She was the girl who had everything - beauty, fame, and a heart too fragile to be seen. Their story began with a school project, and ended with a goodbye that tore the world apart. Years later, fate brings them back - two hearts scarred by time, two souls pretending they've forgotten. But love has a strange way of finding its way home. Until tragedy strikes... and Noah wakes up - in the same classroom, on the same first day, with Sarah's laughter echoing beside him. Was it all just a dream? Or did love bend time itself to give them one more chance? Because sometimes, the universe breaks your heart - just to teach you how to love with everything that's left of it.
The Aid
*MAJOR EDITS/REWRITE IN PROGRESS* Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content
