I’m really drawn to stories where relationships don’t fully end, or the past doesn’t stay in the past.
Something where time feels slightly off—like moments bleeding into the present, or someone not fully gone but not fully here either.
I’ve just finished writing something along those lines and it made me realise how much I enjoy that kind of concept.
Any recommendations?

Even something where you’re not sure if the other person is actually there or just… remembered wrong
I think what I’m really after is that feeling where you’re not sure if the relationship actually ended… or just got stuck somewhere
I actually ended up writing something with this exact feeling — time slipping, memory not behaving, a relationship that never quite finished.
It’s called When We Were True Blue (out May 1). Not sure if it fits exactly what I’m asking for, but that’s the vibe I was chasing
