Foreword

At eighteen, Clara feels like a ghost in the crowded hallways of her final school year. Quiet, observant, and always scribbling poems in the margins of her notebook, she doesn't expect anything to change. Until she meets Ms. Elena Moore.

Elena is everything Clara isn't: composed, distant, and hiding behind carefully chosen words and old books. But when stolen glances turn into after-school conversations-and those conversations into something much deeper-Clara begins to realize that some lines, once crossed, cannot be uncrossed.

A Line We Crossed is a story of longing, secrecy, and the kind of love that feels both terrifying and impossible to resist.
