Every week she's on a plane to see one of her parents. Will he tell her his deep dark secret? Will they break up? Will something bad happen? Or will something good happen? Read to find out. I hope you enjoy. Edit: I changed some things, and I didn't want Corey Fogelmanis to be the actor for Charlie, anymore. Also, in the first chapter, it has a picture of a girl, and it says that's Arianna. That's changed too, because I want someone I can get a lot of pix of. Thank you for reading, and please no hate.

Arch Manning knows the eyes of the world are on him. Football is more than a game, it's his birthright. He has a family tradition to uphold, a team to lead, a national championship, and maybe even a Heisman Trophy, to win. He's spent two excruciating years paying his dues, biding his time. He's finally QB1 of the Texas Longhorns, the preseason number one team in the country. He's gotten there by staying focused, putting in work and keeping his relationships casual. Vivian Murphy didn't even really want to attend the University of Texas, but over the last two years, Austin has become home. She left trauma and tragedy behind in North Carolina.

So, yeah, it's been a minute since I wrote anything. Life has calmed down (a little), some voices have returned and I might have actually found a couple of guys who demand as much attention as Grayson. Usual disclaimers, it's fiction, I know absolutely nothing and no one, there will be swearing, non-explicit sex and some dark topics. And my taste in music hasn't necessarily improved.

In the small coastal Texas town of Harlow, Nora Callette has built exactly the life she intended. At thirty‑eight, she runs Calloway Crest, a luxury pet resort where the town's wealthiest residents trust her with the animals they love more than most people. She is quiet, capable, and precise. She notices everything and says very little. Her life is peaceful by design. Then her younger sister Gemma moves in. Gemma brings two impeccably dressed dogs, an opinionated parakeet, a pet bakery, and enough warmth and chaos to disrupt eleven weeks of carefully maintained routine. She also brings the one person Nora trusts completely into the middle of everything that is about to go wrong. Because something is going wrong in Harlow. Three of Nora's wealthiest clients have quietly rewritten their wills within the same six‑month window. Nora only knows because people talk freely in front of the woman holding their dog's leash. Two of those clients are already dead. Their deaths were ruled accidents. Nora does not believe in coincidences, and she has read enough estate documents in her former life as an attorney to know exactly what a rewritten will means. The third client is still alive. Nobody is looking for a pattern except Nora. Into this walks Callum Hayes, the new town veterinarian-steady, unhurried, and entirely too perceptive for Nora's comfort. And Allen Michaels, a former army sniper turned small‑town detective who tells Nora to stay out of it and cannot seem to stop her. While Nora quietly dismantles a conspiracy built on old money and older jealousy, she is also navigating her first IVF cycle alone, her first real friendship with a man who might become something more, and the chaos of loving a sister who says out loud everything Nora keeps inside. Some secrets get buried. Nora Callette digs them up.

She only wanted to make it to State. Renata Hernandez is a junior at Centennial High School in Frisco, Texas. Her life is ordinary in the best way-early morning swim practices, late-night study sessions with her best friends, the chaos of the school talent show, and the pressure of the UIL 5A State Championship. She has her brother James, her teammates Mackenzie, Veronica, and Shanzay, and a dream of touching that wall in Austin. February 22, 2025. The finals. She swims the race of her life. A few months later, the TSJ virus reaches the United States. The infected don't stay dead. Safe zones are established. The military is mobilized. And Renata's normal life-the one she worked so hard for-ceases to exist. This is not a story about heroes. It's about a girl who could hold her breath for three minutes underwater, and the family she refused to let drown. The Black Line is a slow-burn spin-off to Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End. Follow Renata from the championship podium to the zombie outbreak, from the Frisco suburbs to the ruins of Dallas. Because when the world ends, you don't need a superpower. You just need to keep swimming.

Christopher Laurence Marquez understands systems better than he understands people. As an engineering student newly arriving in Texas, he trusts timing, structure, and observable patterns. Most things can be explained if examined carefully enough. Systems stabilize. Adjustments happen. Life continues. Then orientation week changes direction. What begins as ordinary proximity with Brandon and Blake Hayes - identical twins at the center of Texas football culture - gradually becomes something Christopher cannot fully organize into logic. Brandon moves through the world with immediate momentum. Blake with quiet precision. One expands the atmosphere around him. The other steadies it. Somewhere between them, Christopher finds himself answering faster, staying longer, and noticing them before he means to. The connection does not arrive dramatically. It builds through repetition: shared routines, recognition patterns, quiet reassurance, late-night conversations, and the growing realization that some people begin to feel emotionally familiar before you fully understand why. As football visibility expands across campus and beyond it, Christopher struggles to balance overstimulation, attention, and the terrifying possibility of becoming emotionally reachable inside a world that never seems to slow down. Because Christopher has spent most of his life preparing for eventual distance. But Brandon and Blake keep returning. Again. And again. And again.
