Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
A Small Reunion
It had been twenty-four years since she had last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. It was the middle of the day, the sun glaring down on her brown hair and pale skin from overhead, the hot summer sun reminding her of the reason she came back. Clarissa had worked hard to avoid any and everyone she went to high school with, but now, here she was, standing right outside the high school gym. Now, she was a different person, though back then she was not. It had taken some time, and a lot of growing, to become who she was now.

Charlie's Dance
The next week Charlie couldn’t help but feel heavy when his father came to pick him up from school. They were going to the rec center to sign him up for basketball. He’d get all gross and sweaty and he’d definitely not be able to wear anything pretty. If he tried there was no way he wouldn’t get teased. Charlie’s classmates already thought he was weird because he liked so many girly things. At least, he guessed, this would help them see him as more boyish. Because boys had to be boys. And boys didn’t like girly things like frills and lace. They liked mud and sports and trucks.

Love or Codependency Chapter 6
Eric leads you through the passageway of your world into his. You look around taking in all the beauty you never thought could have existed until now. You walk along a silver stone walkway admiring the tall yellow grass playing with the wind, the hills in the back made of Autumn leaves that begged to be jumped in. A head of you a stone wall with huge wooden doors, open, welcoming you into their city.

Belle Cottage
Belle was driving to Belle Cottage to stay for a couple of days just to get away from the city. The lonely road stretched for miles in front of her. The swishing of the windshield wipers going back and forth kept her awake, and the heater blew out a steady stream of warm air. A little distance down the road, she heard a loud pop and she pulled over on the side of the road to see what caused the noise. She got out in the frigid air, and walked around the car. Just as she thought, the tire on the passenger side was completely gone, and the snow was drifting down a lot faster than she liked.
