Livia

“It’s not just my motivation…” Liv searched his eyes, desperately wanting–needing him to understand. “I have seasonal depression,” she lowered her eyes. “I—I don’t like talking about it, and I hate putting a label on myself, but it’s true. It’s always been hard, but with Xandro gone,” she bit her lip, a sob building in her c…[Read more]

Livia

Liv sighed, letting him hold her for a few seconds.

“I’m sorry…I know I haven’t been the best friend,” she pulled out her phone and showed him all the unread and unanswered messages. “I haven’t had the motivation to do anything lately.”

Aannnddd I’m left in the dust. What is it with you night owls?

oh boy, you mention “doctor” and Rory’ll flip out bad.

You don’t want to see that.

Rory

When Barnes actually took off her mask, Rory started in surprise a little. He had been preparing to surprise her and somehow get it off. He needed to see the face b…[Read more]

@esther-c

I agree with @koshka and @elishavet-pidyon

I would also add,

1. A lot of physical contact before marriage

2. Only being able to have a relationship when alone. I prefer that one of the first times this couple is alone is when he asks her to marry him. Show them getting to know each others families, hanging out at church, spending…[Read more]

@liberty

Yes, and the weird thing is I got two emails at once both saying the same thing. It’s like my last registration actually went through….. I hope being signed up two times isn’t a problem.

@esther-c

Livia

“Livia, are you okay?”

She blinked hard, still refusing to make eye contact.

She formed the moisture into the form of a horse, letting it gallop around on her palm.

She missed Xandro. 

She let the water fall off her hand and into the churning waters below.

Finally, she let out a shuddering sigh, and turned to face…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ohhhh yeah I understand!!!

Still, I change my book so many times that I’m used to it lollll

YAYYYYYYYYY I’m so excited!!!!!!

@esther-c

Naw, you’re good! I haven’t touched that one in a while actually. It’s a completed first draft, I’ve just been too scared to edit it. 🫣😂 I’m actually drafting a contemporary NA romance that starts in the Midwest but mostly takes place in ✨i t a l y✨. I started it in November, but I’m not even halfway through yet. I didn’t make writing…

I signed up and I’m sooooo excited!!!! Hey maybe I’ll be on the same team as you guys, that would be so fun!

@whalekeeper

I’m signed up. I just sent Andrew the link too. Not sure if he’ll be able to though

@esther-c

Awww Lukas is so cuteeeeee! I love himmm

Livia

“Hey, Liv.”

Lukas crossed the courtyard, his hands in his pockets, a blush creeping into his cheeks.

It had been so long since they’d talked…she’d been in her own world lately and though she hated to admit it, she was doing it again. Shutting the people out that she loved the…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Gotcha!

@whalekeeper

@koshka

Whoops!

I guess we’ll say Koshka’s post came before mine.

@whalekeeper    @koshka

Rory

Leo must not have been listening to the conversation between him and Silvia, and Silvia was too interested in tea to alleviate his confusion.

The woman spoke from her chair behind him. “So, I have to introduce myself first before you give me any explanation. Is that what Rory wants?”

Rory jumped at his name and sw…[Read more]

@koshka  @whalekeeper

Rory

Rory was even more confused. “Snipe Ship? I’m not a marine.” He looked to Leo for help.

@koshka

Rory

Rory studied Silvia curiously. He had never had someone look at him like that. She was frowning, but she wasn’t angry. It was something else. He couldn’t quiet decided what it was. It was like the way Leo looked at him in the church. Like she actually cared weather he lived or died. Like it mattered if he was hurt or in…[Read more]

@koshka    @whalekeeper

Rory

Rory was surprised by how relieved he felt at seeing Quincy and Silvia. He let go of Rory and moved toward the couch and quietly dropped to his knees, reaching out a hand to stroke Quincy’s head. He looked up, his eyes finding Silvia’s. “Is he alright?”

@whalekeeper

Thank you!
