„Es war wie ein Traum, einer den ich vergessen hatte zu träumen. Zu zerbrechlich war er, zu verlockend, ich wusste, ich würde daran verbrennen. Meine Gedanken schwebten davon als sie meinen Namen rief. Wie ein Seil das mich aus den Fluten meines Verderbens riss. Zu lange hatte ich nicht mehr gewagt es zu glauben, darauf zu hoffen, dass es wirklich passieren könnte. Konnte es sein? Liebte ich? Liebte ich tatsächlich nach all der Zeit wieder? Als ich die Augen aufschlug, saß ich noch immer an meinem Platz, sie war weg. War es nur ein Traum gewesen? Und nach Ewigkeiten regte sich ein Gefühl in mir, das mich regelrecht zerriss, ich wollte wieder träumen!" (gxg/ wxw/ sxt)

Julia Calloway is a 19 year old literature student. She feels more than she can handle, overthinks until it hurts, and often loses herself in the weight of her own empathy. She's emotionally intense, quietly curious, and carries wounds she rarely speaks of. Julia doesn't know how to be anything but honest with her feelings, even when they make her unravel. She's soft, but there's something wild beneath it. A desperate need to be seen and understood. Alexandra Donahue is a 31 year old CEO -sharp, composed, and dangerously intelligent. She mastered the art of restraint. Every move she makes is deliberate, her mind a fortress built from control and careful calculation, from the way she speaks to the way she guards her heart. But beneath her control lies obsession-she doesn't fall in love often, but when she does, it's consuming. She's spent years building walls, unwilling to waste her intensity on someone who won't stay. Alexandra doesn't fall easily, but when she does, it's with terrifying devotion. Julia leads with her heart, even when it leaves her exposed. Alexandra keeps hers hidden, afraid of what might happen if she lets go. Where Julia feels everything, Alexandra questions it all. They shouldn't work-but somehow, they fit in the quiet spaces neither of them shows the world.

Elena (Ellie) Bennet has always lived in the quiet-between the things she says and the things she never dares to. A writer at heart but a ghost in her own life, she moves through senior year like a shadow, watching the world unfold without ever really stepping into it. Then comes Ms. Angle Sinclair-elegant, professional, precise, brilliant, and untouchable, but impossible to ignore. The new literature teacher isn't what anyone expects: built around control and accountability but around Elena, that control shatters in an instant. Their worlds shouldn't collide, but they do-first through words, then through glances, and finally through the fragile silence that stretches between them. As boundaries blur and truths unravel, Elena finds herself caught in the space between what's right and what feels inevitable. Every word becomes a risk, every look a confession. In The Space Between Words, love isn't loud-it's the quiet that lingers after everything else fades.

When her younger sister Ashley sends a her a link to an online lesbian book club called 'The Margins We Keep, and tells her "Go be gay and read things." Claire joins. And everything changes from the moment she stumbled upon a quote from The Price Of Salt, it's posted by a user named Juliette. It's a beautiful and very haunting quote. It's Claire's favorite quote too. Claire replies-and Juliette answers. What starts as a shared love of literature quickly unravels into late-night threads, flirty emails, and a growing curiosity that expands across different time zones. Before they touched, they wrote. Every word a confession, every reply a seduction.

Isla, newly elected student council president, meets Professor Langford-Rochefort for the first time during a formal university function. Celeste is cool, formal, barely looking at her-but Isla catches the faintest flicker of surprise when they shake hands. Isla is intrigued. And Celeste is... unsettled. A spark grows from the first encounter.

Richmond University is full of secrets. Aurelia Fitzgerald is the keeper of most of them. That is until a new professor turns her world upside down.

It was never supposed to mean anything. Just a fleeting moment. A beautiful mistake, soaked in midnight and quiet desperation. One night to forget the rules. To taste freedom in the arms of a stranger. To let go without thinking of the morning after. No goodbyes. No consequences. Only touches that lingered too long, and memories etched into skin like whispers. But fate doesn't play fair. Because when Mia stepped into her classroom that Monday morning, time didn't just stop. It held its breath. And there she was. The stranger from that night. But not draped in shadows this time. No, now she stood in the light. Composed. Commanding. Off-limits. Her new English teacher. Their eyes met. A flash of recognition. A pause too long to be innocent. Mia's heart stumbled in her chest. The room faded, voices dulled, the world narrowed to just her. The woman she wasn't supposed to see again. The woman who now held her future in the palm of her hand. And maybe, just maybe, still remembered everything.
