Falling for You Was the Plot Twist I wasn’t supposed to fall in love that summer. That was the first rule I had set for myself when I moved into the tiny, sunlit apartment above the bakery on Hawthorne Street. No attachments. No complications. No stories that didn’t have a clear ending. I had just…
She Was My Almost Forever There are some love stories that begin with certainty—two people meeting as though the universe had signed a contract long before they ever existed.
