Scattered Moments is a collection of short stories born from fleeting thoughts, quiet emotions, and experiences once shared on my Facebook account. Each piece captures a different moment, some soft and comforting, others heavy and heartbreaking, woven together through honesty, reflection, and emotion.
This book is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost silently, healed slowly, or found pieces of themselves in late-night thoughts and unfinished conversations. Within these pages are stories scattered across time, now gathered into one place to be felt all over again.

LOVING, ANNOYINGLY
Aarav was never meant to run away. He just wanted to prove a point-to make his family realize that he wasn't invisible, that he mattered. But in his reckless escape, he stumbled upon something far greater than freedom. He found Meera. A girl, wounded and alone, hiding in the shadows of a ship bound for nowhere. She had seen the worst of humanity, and love? Love was never in her plans. But fate had other ideas. From strangers to reluctant allies, from survival partners to something more-Aarav and Meera built a life neither of them had expected. He, a boy who loved too much. She, a girl who never wanted love at all. Through teasing fights, stubborn silences, and quiet moments of healing, they grew together. Aarav, ever the dramatic, clingy mess of a man, spent years pestering Meera for affection. And Meera? Well, she spent years pretending she didn't care. Until one day, she did. Until one day, she said it. A story of found family, healing, and the most unlikely kind of love-one that grows, slowly, stubbornly, and beautifully.Complete

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 contentComplete
