Anime Once Said

What we never said

Fourteen was supposed to be an in-between year — too old for dolls, too young for love. But for Cara, it became the year everything changed. When her brother’s best friend, Callum Adler, starts spending more time at their house, Cara notices things most adults ignore. The bruises. The quiet. The way their mother starts folding extra laundry like it’s second nature. Callum's broken home becomes a secret the whole family carries, and Cara — wide-eyed, overlooked, and quietly growing — starts to fall for him in all the ways she shouldn’t. But Callum is four years older. Eighteen. Off-limits. Almost a man. And despite their quiet moments — the almosts, the shared glances, the night she asked to kiss him — he walks away without a goodbye, leaving her in the silence he helped create. Years pass. Cara grows. Builds a life. Finds herself. By eighteen, she’s no longer just Kaden’s little sister. She’s her own person — confident, loved, maybe even happy. But everything tilts when she runs into Callum again at a skating rink. Older, composed, and entirely unexpected. He’s not the same boy who used to sleep on her couch with bruises on his ribs — and she’s not the girl who watched him leave. But unfinished things have a way of circling back. Told in alternating perspectives of Cara and Callum, What We Never Said explores the slow burn of first love, the ache of timing, and what it really means to grow up — and grow apart — before finding your way back.

The Spaces Between What We Said.

When transfer student Haruki Sakamoto accidentally walks into Professor Akizuki's "Psychology of Human Attachment" class, he expects to quietly slip out unnoticed. Instead, he finds himself captivated by both the subject matter and Noa Hoshizaki, a brilliant psychology major whose analytical approach to relationships challenges everything he thought he knew about love. Haruki has spent years analyzing emotions in literature while remaining clueless about his own feelings. Noa excels at academic theory but struggles with the practical application of healthy relationship patterns. Together, they embark on what begins as an intellectual exploration of attachment theory and evolves into something much more profound—learning how to love each other intentionally and well. Under Professor Akizuki's mentorship, they discover that relationships don't have to be mysterious or dramatic to be meaningful. Instead, they learn to apply psychological research to their own connection, developing communication skills, supporting each other's individual growth, and choosing conscious partnership over unconscious patterns inherited from childhood. As their romance deepens, so does their academic collaboration. Haruki's research on attachment pattern development complements Noa's thesis on therapeutic interventions, leading to discoveries that could influence how people understand and develop healthier relationships. Their work attracts attention from graduate programs across the country, forcing them to choose between geographic proximity and pursuing the academic opportunities that align with their individual goals. They decide to trust their relationship enough to support each other's dreams, even when it means separation. Noa accepts an early research position at the University of Chicago while Haruki prepares for graduate school at Northwestern. Their love survives the transition from campus romance to long-distance partnership, proving that relationships built on mutual support and intentional communication can thrive despite challenges. By graduation, they've not only learned how to love each other well, but their collaborative research has begun producing findings that could revolutionize relationship psychology. When their independent studies reveal what appears to be a critical period for attachment pattern development in young adults—a window where conscious relationship work produces dramatically accelerated results—they realize they may have discovered something that could help millions of people develop healthier connections. Volume 1 concludes as their research attracts national attention, with publication opportunities and conference presentations that could launch their academic careers. But Noa hints at another discovery that could change everything they think they know about their findings. This is a story about two people who learn that the best relationships aren't accidents of chemistry, but conscious collaborations between partners committed to each other's growth. It's about love that makes people better, research that matters, and the discovery that understanding attachment theory isn't just academic—it's the foundation for building lasting partnership. A romance for readers who believe love can be both analytical and passionate, practical and profound. More volume will be out soon!

The Last Time I Said Yes

“Are you crying?” I asked. She shook her head and wiped at her face as more tears were falling. “I’m so stupid.” she groaned. ‘Now I am truly and utterly alone. I should have just said yes to marrying him. If I had just did what my parents wanted, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have dragged you into this mess.” Without warning, I turned sharp to the side, putting the car to a sudden stop close to the curb. She held the door for balance and looked at me with wide eyes. “Don’t ever say that again. You think marrying a man you don’t love, a man who doesn’t care if he hurts you, just to please your family is the right thing to do?” I turned to her slowly. “That would’ve ruined you.” “But I would’ve had a home to go to, I would’ve been taken care of. Now I have nothing,” she looked away. I reached over and gently took her bruised hand in mine. “You did the hardest thing anyone in your position could have done. You saved yourself. That takes more guts than standing there and pretending to be happy.” I tucked a hair behind her ear. “You think you are alone? You’re not… you have me.” Her lips trembled slightly. “But why would you even help me? I didn’t answer and shifted the gear back to drive. I don’t know why I am doing this? I just feel like I can’t leave her alone, that I must protect her. Am I crazy? _____ Alina Etienne has always lived a life dictated by her parents. She is groomed to be an obedient daughter, a perfect public image, and now, a bride to a man she doesn’t know or love. On her wedding day, crushed by the weight of expectations, Alina does the unthinkable... she says “I don’t” and flees the altar. On the run and scared with nowhere to go, she crosses paths with Mikhail Antonov. A cold, guarded man with a past he doesn’t talk about. What began as a reluctant act of kindness turned into something neither of them expected.
