Hoping that one day I'll have someone to cherish and love. Moving swiftly to where my book collection was, I picked one that was titled, 'Perfect Chemistry' by Simone Elkeles. The love story of Brittany Ellis and Alex Fuentes is so beautiful. Two people from two different worlds falling in love has to be the most endearing sight ever. Maybe one day I might experience such love, until then I need to pack up these books before Natalie gets here. Putting all the books in a box, I checked the time on my phone and it was past 4 pm. I decided to wash up before she got here.

Then I hurried off toward the bookstore, my mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions—exhilaration from the kiss warring with the sharp stab of guilt. The rest of my shift dragged like molasses. I recommended a thriller series to a mom wrangling twins who kept knocking over displays, restocked the cozy mysteries shelf while replaying Tom's words in my head, and forced smiles for regulars asking about the honeymoon. But underneath it all, my thoughts looped endlessly: the press of his lips, the warmth of his hand, the way he'd looked at me like I was the only person in the world. By closing time at four, as I locked up and headed home, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, heart skipp

I chewed my lip, suddenly finding my coffee incredibly fascinating. Meera’s eyes narrowed. “Susan.” “I… didn’t say yes.” “What?” Her jaw dropped. “Why?” I sighed, leaning back against my chair. “Because it’s too fast. Because it’s insane. Because this is Elliot we’re talking about. My ex. My boss. The man who broke my heart a decade ago.” Meera crossed her arms, her expression shifting from excitement to something softer. “And the man you’re obviously still crazy about.” I looked away, not wanting to admit how much that was true.

My vision blurred, my thoughts slowed, and as the last violent jolt tore through my body, one final, bitter realization settled in. This was what I deserved. And then—nothing.

She glanced back down at the leather-bound book resting on the floorboards beside her. The empty pages seemed to stare up at her, daring her to turn them. With a trembling hand, she picked it up again, the leather warm against her palm. She knew she should get up, should finish unpacking, should do something practical, anything to distract herself from the throbbing between her legs. But she couldn't. She was hooked. The anonymous writer had become a guide, a seductress whispering secrets into her ear, and Pinky was a willing student, desperate to learn every lesson.

Completely unguarded. And that, more than anything else, unsettled him. Because he could feel it. In his chest. That deadly spark again. He scanned the cover, thumb following the title, then back at her. "Why this one?" "It's a book about sadness," she told him quietly. "But not the kind that cries out. The kind that settles into the space between us." Some dark, wordless flicker showed behind his eyes. He nodded once, palming the book into his coat pocket as if it was evidence in a case he wasn't ready to break yet.

Chapati was BITTER Everything was tasteless. Her life was BITTER. She lost interest in everything and drowned herself into the pool of loneliness, Madness, pain and BETRAYAL but accidentally one day, while scrolling phone, she came to know about E-books. She read a few books that were all horrible in a few parts that Adrija wanted to enter into the book and slapped the weak and dumb and clueless protagonists. After offended few writers, Adrija got blocked by the writers and later, few readers actually supported her comments on the writer's book. After this, Adrija thought to write for herself. She started getting peace in writing. She wrote a few short poems, songs and articles and currently

I was about to read one, 'Home coming' by Yaa Gyasi. I was a bit depressed, because the year was gradually coming to an end. Christmas was fast approaching. And I dreaded it, as misfortunes happen to me few days to Christmas. I shuddered at the fear of what might happen this time around. Last year my wedding engagement was cancelled few days to Christmas. A year ago I lost my job few days to christmas, two years ago I almost got raped few days to christmas by a thug in the car park, thank God I was saved before he penetrated into me. I marked that day as a day I won't ever forget. Three years ago I was in a coma few days to christmas because my Fiance smashed a bottle of wine on my head. My

She always does when she thinks I’m unraveling—as if warm tea and quiet care can fix something this deep. I cross the room and pick up the cup, the warmth seeping into my palm. I bring it to my lips and take a slow sip. It’s sweet. Too sweet. But beneath that sweetness… there’s something else. Something I can’t quite place. Bitter. Not strong enough to make me stop—but enough to make my brow furrow slightly as I swallow. “…weird,” I murmur, glancing down at the cup as if it might explain itself before shrugging it off.
