“He said I wasn’t what he wanted. But the way he looked at me said otherwise. And when he said I was what he couldn’t stop wanting—then left anyway—I didn’t feel rejected. I felt like I’d just watched someone run from the thing they wanted most.” Summary: In a quiet coffee shop, Ivy finds herself face to face with Jace Wilder again—and this time, she doesn’t wait for him to speak. She calls him out, pushes back, and doesn’t flinch when he tries to push her away. Jace tells her she’s not what he wants… then confesses he can’t stop wanting her. But instead of staying, he walks out. Ivy doesn’t chase him—because now she knows the truth: he’s not rejecting her… he’s afraid of her.

“I told her to stay away. Then walked off like it didn’t gut me. But the truth? I didn’t want to leave. Not this time. She looked at me like I was something worth choosing—like I hadn’t already decided to ruin it.” Summary: After their quiet confrontation in the hallway, Jace walks away from Ivy again—but something’s different. Her words linger. Her eyes haunt. For a guy who built his entire world around rules and distance, Ivy is becoming impossible to ignore. He’s not supposed to chase. He’s not supposed to feel. But now Jace isn’t sure how much longer he can pretend he doesn’t want her—or why walking away felt like losing something he never had.

“He said my name like it meant something. Like he wasn’t just remembering it—he’d been holding it in his mouth, waiting. I told him I knew I should stay away. He said I should. But we were still standing there, breathing the same air, like maybe we both wanted the same mistake.” Summary: When Ivy runs into Jace again—alone this time, no crowd to hide in—there's no escaping the tension between them. Words are finally spoken, truths half-admitted. He warns her to stay away, but neither of them moves. And as Jace walks away for a second time, Ivy realizes something chillingly sweet: he didn't want to leave her at all.

“She looked at me like I was more than every bad thing people say I am. Like I was real. Worth knowing. Worth… keeping. And that scared the hell out of me. Because I don’t want to be wanted by someone like her—I want to be forgotten. But Ivy Wren? She doesn’t forget.” Summary: Jace never meant to see Ivy again. But when their eyes meet across campus, something shifts. She’s supposed to be a one-night thought—a soft, too-innocent girl he warned to stay away. But now, even after walking away, she’s lodged in his chest like something permanent. And for a guy who doesn’t do love, Ivy Wren is becoming impossible to unsee… or forget.

“He looked at me across campus like he hadn’t meant to. Like I wasn’t supposed to still be in his head—and he sure as hell wasn’t supposed to be in mine. We didn’t speak. Didn’t smile. Just made eye contact for three seconds… and that was enough to ruin my entire day.” Summary: Ivy tries to convince herself that what happened at the party with Jace Wilder was just a moment—nothing more. But when she runs into him on campus the next day, everything inside her reignites. Their eyes meet across a crowded quad, no words exchanged… yet the connection is still there. Still electric. Still dangerous. And Ivy realizes some people don’t need to touch you to leave a mark.

“I don’t do firsts. I don’t lose sleep over soft girls in cardigans. But Ivy Wren looked at me like I could give her something better—something safe. And that’s the real problem. Because if I touched her, it wouldn’t be safe. It would be unforgettable.” Summary: Jace Wilder doesn’t fall. He doesn’t remember names, doesn’t replay conversations—until Ivy. After one meeting, she’s already stuck in his head, the kind of girl he swore never to touch. But when he finds himself looking her up, thinking about the way she stared at him like he was something more, Jace knows he’s already in trouble. Ivy’s the first girl he should walk away from... and the last one he wants to.

He didn’t touch me. Didn’t kiss me. Just looked at me like I was something he shouldn’t want—but couldn’t help staring at anyway. And now I’m lying here, hours later, still trying to breathe normally. Still hearing his voice. Still writing about a boy who didn’t even ask my name. Summary: Back in her dorm room after her first college party, Ivy Wren can’t stop thinking about Jace Wilder—the boy with sharp eyes and a rough voice who warned her to stay away. He didn’t flirt. He didn’t ask for her number. But somehow, he left a mark. Now, alone in the quiet, Ivy puts pen to paper and confesses the one thought she can’t shake: what if she wants him to be her first mistake?

What Keeps Two People Together? The Hidden Glue of a Man‑and‑Woman Love Relationship No relationship is conflict‑free. What matters is how disagreements are handled. Couples who view conflict as a problem to solve.

“She shouldn’t have come near me. One look at those wide, innocent eyes and I knew she was the kind of girl who stayed in your bloodstream. The kind you ruin without meaning to. So I walked away. Five steps. That’s all I made it before I turned back—because damn it, she was still staring at me like I was something worth wanting.” Summary: Jace Wilder can’t shake the girl in the cardigan. After walking away from Ivy at the party, he tries to convince himself she’s trouble he doesn’t need—too innocent, too curious, too easy to break. But the truth hits fast: Ivy isn’t like anyone he’s met, and the way she looked at him is already under his skin. Jace doesn’t do firsts… yet something about her makes him wish he could.

“You came over here because you were curious,” he said, voice low, dangerous. I swallowed hard. “You don’t look scared of anything,” I whispered. He leaned in, so close I could feel his breath on my skin. “You should be.” Summary: In her first taste of freedom, Ivy Wren steps into a wild college party—and straight into the gaze of Jace Wilder, campus heartbreaker with a reputation as dark as his eyes. What starts as curiosity becomes a slow, electric pull neither of them expects. Their first conversation is charged, tense, and unforgettable. Ivy is soft. Jace is dangerous. And from the moment they lock eyes, nothing stays the same.
