FRAGMENTS BETWEEN US

Althea didn’t expect to see him again. Not here. Not like this. A destination wedding in Paris was supposed to be a distraction—a chance to breathe, to forget the past she had carefully buried. But the moment she comes face to face with Elias, everything she thought she had moved on from begins to unravel. Once, they had been inseparable. Caught somewhere between friendship and something more, between late-night conversations and unspoken feelings, they built something fragile—and lost it just as easily. Now, surrounded by old friends and forced into the same spaces, the same memories, Althea finds it harder to ignore what still lingers between them. Especially when Elias is no longer the boy she once knew… and she is no longer the girl who waited. But the past isn’t done with them. Lucia—his past, his complication, and the shadow Althea could never escape—returns with intentions of her own, stirring tension and reopening wounds that never truly healed. What was left unsaid begins to surface, and the line between anger and longing starts to blur. As the wedding draws closer, emotions rise, truths threaten to come to light, and choices can no longer be avoided. Because some connections don’t fade with time. Some feelings refuse to disappear. And sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t letting go—And trying to form new connections but when the old ones don’t want to let go it’s deciding whether to hold on again. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: FRAGMENTS BETWEEN US — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
