Blurb

A Friends To Lovers Short Story

Heart Block. A slowing heartbeat.

Not dead, but not functioning well.

Kinda fits Stephanie's vibe since she said, "No thanks" when her best friend Theo said he wanted more.

She changed her mind, but it's too late.

He's moved on.

Or has he?

A story of friends to lovers and self-inflicted heart damage.

Note: This is a short story. It's just over 12K words

Author

Officially, I started writing in early 2022, publishing my first novel DONE in February of 2023. Unofficially, I’ve probably been developing my scaffolding as a writer for many years.

I wasn’t sure I’d ever publish beyond DONE, but I knew it was the novel I had to write. However, once I started writing I had difficulty stopping. Several ideas started to take form in jotted notes and in computer documents. Writing has been a much needed escape into a fictional world, even if it's a world that mirrors real life.

I live in Raleigh, with my husband and two children in Raleigh, NC. During the day, I work as a physical therapist. My writing is sporadic between my other responsibilities.
