    Summary

    “If you had the chance to make it true, what would you wish for?”

    Vi smiled, her mouth curving in that enigmatic, emotionally charged way that made Caitlyn's face flush.

    “Just one wish?”

    “Yes.”

    “To have met you before" Vi whispered "That way, for every time I close my eyes, I could see you clearly in my mind.”

    ::

    Caitlyn has everything she could ever want. Everything she ever dreamed was materializing with the same confidence and skill of someone who knows what she wants and has the means to get it. But still, she feels empty, as if her life is aimless and, worst of all, she is completely detached from the one thing she believed was her great love, art. Until, by coincidence of life (or perhaps fate) she meets Vi, a young woman who has lost more than most could bear, but still maintains a fierceness and zest for life that immediately draws Caitlyn into her orbit.

    But despite her optimism, Vi also has her own demons to face, a past to overcome and prejudices to fight against day in and day out.

    Could two people so opposed to each other find connection through art? Or will their differences in life outweigh their strong and growing bond?

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Summary

    Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:

    “Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”

    Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”

    Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”

    She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.

    “I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”

    She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

    “I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”

    Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.

    Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”

    Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.

    Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.

    “…Oh thank god.”

    or.

    Summary

    In a quiet vineyard nestled in the misty hills of Khao Yai, Phinya Thananont—runs a small wine bar and restaurant far from the violence of her past. One rainy, stormy night, Busaya Methin and little boy stumble into her life, seeking warmth, shelter, and safety. What begins as an act of kindness unfolds into something deeper. Beneath the Vines evokes the idea of quiet strength, hidden pain, unexpected growth, and love that takes root slowly—sometimes in the shadow of trauma.
