Surprise Stories

Ben Fuller had learned, over thirty-two birthdays, that expectations were a quick route to disappointment. So, this year, he expected nothing: a quiet walk, perhaps, or a decent cup of coffee. What he got instead was a quest.

Kai was the quiet, unreadable one among his friends. A young man admired for his beauty but rarely understood for his heart. Behind his silver hair, cold expressions, and distant attitude was someone deeply protective, gentle, and afraid of revealing too much of himself. Mia entered his life during a storm, literally and emotionally. Forced to spend a night at the same house, she discovered that the coldest person in the room was the one who came to comfort her when she was afraid. After the tragedy at university, Kai became one of the people who silently protected her. While several friends criss-crossed, Mai's path to check on her, Kai cared through small, lasting actions. Mia slowly realised with some very close friends that Kai's silence was not indifference; it was self-control. Kai, who spent his life hiding behind a carefully built image, found himself seen for the first time as a person who needed love, too. Mia challenged Kai's belief that love was something dangerous. She taught him that being vulnerable did not make him weak, while he taught her that she deserved to be cared for even when she felt broken. Their love was not loud or dramatic; He discovered that she made him want to stop running from his own emotions.

Ophelia Gómez didn't move four hundred miles away to fall in love. She came to disappear. At twenty-two, Lia is determined to rebuild the life she barely recognizes as her own. A tiny apartment, long shifts at a worn-down diner, and a new town where no one knows her past aren't exactly the fresh start she imagined-but they're hers. And after years of having her choices taken from her, hers means everything. Then Jaxon Wilder starts showing up in her section. Jaxon isn't supposed to become part of her new beginning. And Lia certainly isn't prepared for the way he looks at the body she's spent years trying to hide-or how easily he sees through the walls she's built around herself. But just as Lia begins to believe she can have something good, the past she drove four hundred miles to escape finds its way back into her life. Jaxon's instinct is to fight for her. Lia's is to run. Except this time, she doesn't want someone to save her. She wants to learn how to stand on her own. Because some fights aren't won inside the ring. And sometimes the most important thing you can do after being knocked down...

I gave up my whole career to destroy a family with a wrecking ball. That wasn't my best decision. And I wouldn't be making any better ones if I were to stay here with nothing. And since the family I tried to destroy clearly despised me now, I shouldn't get my hopes up. I was put in the place where I belonged, now on the same level as the Greens. Unless... this could help me see everything from a different perspective? #1 in #bigcitygreens #1 in chipwhistler Dedicated to: 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘀-𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴 and 𝗦𝗮𝗺-𝗷𝗮𝘅-𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗿 on Tumblr
