It really was love at first sight.

From across the cafe, I saw a handsome man staring at me. In both my mind and my heart, I knew he was the one. My heart fluttered as I met his gazed both of our faces flushing deep shades of pink.

I averted my gaze, shyly smiling. Then I heard footsteps approaching, and then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was that man.

I blushed profusely as I looked at him, ...

Was it the way I looked to him? No, that can’t be it.

It was the way he looked to _me_. Yes, that seems right.

The name’s Piper; Piper Ann Dame, and I’m in love with a deerfox. That’s right. A damn, scruffy deerfox.

He’s clothed in a fiery coat of orange, amber eyes accompanied by black paws that could be gentle and soft. His antlers stretch out from his skull, like twisting trees of thick oak....

I try not to smile when I see him.

But then he smiles and my whole world melts.

I try not to look into his deep brown eyes.

But then I see them, and I can’t look away.

I try to talk to him.

But then he’s surrounded by other girls.

I try not to cry.

But then I remember that I might have loved him.

I try to avoid him in the halls.

But everywhere I turn, he’s there.

I try to hear what he’s saying t...

Grace was acutely aware that every step she took was on ground they had once trodden together. Every pavement, cobblestone, gravel path, shop floor. This was their old stomping ground and every place with imbued with significance in her mind because the memories of his presence hovering over it. Does he think this too as he walks around our little town? It's been eighteen years. He'd probably move...

The world was quiet as the two lay in the sand, save for the sound of waves crashing against the shore and ocean wind whistling through the air. The two lovers’ hands were intertwined, holding each other tightly as they stared up into the sky at the sparkling stars.

One’s gaze shifted downwards, towards the soft, gentle, features of the girl she loved. She thought she was unnoticed until a hand r...

As I stare into his eyes, I realize I'm in love. Even though it is so frigid out, I feel warmer than ever in his arms. I never believed her when she said it was impossible for me to love him after what Gracie did to me three years ago. Well, here I am the luckiest girl in the world, in Paris, France, with my fiance six months before our wedding. God, I love him more than anything, or at least that...

It was as if their whole lives had been leading up to this moment in time. Almost as if they were meant to be all along. Although they had only met hours earlier, it was like they had known each other for years. One more captivated than the other with their charm. I guess you can throw in the old cliche, “it was love at first sight”. They needed each other without even knowing it. It took this on...

Sometimes bonds are stronger than time,

Stronger than long distance,

Some bonds are simple,

Or simply unbreakable,

Unshakeable.

Some require little to no words at all,

A look is all it takes

silence is so comfortable,

A look is all it takes,

And thoughts can be read.

It’s possible to get so close,

You fuse your bodies and souls,

You can feel each other’s pain and feel their success, too.

That’s ...

From across the bar his jade eyes pierce my soul deeper than the scotch burns my throat. My heart knew him, but I did not. I throw back another shot. His eyes danced as if he knew every inch of me.

Fresh air calls my name, my nerves call a smoke. He follows, lites me up, takes my hand and I follow. He stops next to a granite black bike. It rumbles to life and with noons hot sun beaming over us w...

Rising sunlight shone through the pale curtains, faintly lighting the room in early morning tones and catching the dust motes in the air. It was blessedly warm on Gideon’s bare back, and he heaved a deep and contented breath, turning his head up to see Florence’s sleeping face. Her eyelashes were clear in the light and the veins were visible under the thin skin of her eyelids. Gideon was partly on...
