    Summary

    Owen had a look of absolute confusion on his face, standing in the kitchen in the Spongebob pyjamas that Miles had gifted him as a Christmas present two years ago.

    "Would you care to explain to me why Danielle Clayton is in our bathroom?" He asked.

    Jamie took a long sip of her tea, raising a brow at him over the mug.

    "I spilled my tea on her."

    Owen glanced back at the bathroom, then to Jamie. "Oh."

    Summary


    It’s funny how fate works, don’t you agree? They say that fate is an occurrence of many events in our life beyond our control, a natural order in the occurrence that is inevitable.

    It was fate that brought them together with a little help from a stolen bicycle.




    Dani and Jamie decide to move to a small city they’ve both fallen in love with and with events beyond their control, and through unexpected circumstances, they cross paths and feel an immediate attraction towards one another. With their mutual love for biking, they become closer until their relationship explodes into a torrid love affair, both realising that this intense bond is more than just sexual.

    Summary

    Jamie was very, very lonely. She found herself explaining Dani’s absence away as her “passing on,” which was only partially true, yet somehow more painful than the full truth.

    Regulars at The Leafling were rather curious about Dani’s presence, or lack thereof; some ignorant women saw it as an opening and attempted to fling themselves onto Jamie, whose irate explanation of her wife’s absence turned regular customers into fellow absentees.

    She was rather perturbed by how neighbors and former friends saw her. An acquaintance of hers, who’d sensed that something was wrong when she saw Jamie alone, invited her to a ‘support group.’ She really should have expected it when said acquaintance introduced her as another widower.

    Jamie hated the intrusive questions and assumptions that came with Dani’s disappearance. She hated the sympathy, and fake-expressive sad faces, and the offers by various psychiatrists to help her, as they said, better adjust to her wife’s passing.

    She didn’t see herself as the kind of woman who needed help, and certainly not medicated assistance. She’d find her own path to her city of joy--and that just had to be wherever Dani was.

    Summary

    Ava has sworn off dating after her last failed attempt at romance. She has sworn to herself that she will stay clear of anything dating-related for at least half a year and the truth is, it is surprisingly easy.
    That is until Beatrice reappears in the city and in her life after having been gone for 5 years. And usually Ava is a firm believer of leaving the past in the past, but for some reason seeing Beatrice again turns her whole world upside down. Not that Beatrice and her actually have much of a past. Nothing beyond some exchanged greetings, stolen glances and one unforgettable dream-like night. But apparently that is enough to make Ava spiral and question all her life-choices, because she doesn't want romance, but she also doesn't want to let Beatrice go again.
