Three Streets Away

Some encounters are too ordinary to remember. Others are impossible to forget.

Scarlett Bennett has a life she likes.

A demanding career. Two teenage children. A beautiful home. Early mornings at the gym. Quiet evenings when nobody needs anything from her.

At forty-five, she’s learned that peace is something worth protecting.

Gabriel Navarro has spent most of his life feeling like he belonged somewhere else. Spanish by heritage, born and raised in Finland, he’s finally traded the familiar for a new beginning in America.

He works in technology, keeps to himself, and has no particular interest in complicating his life.

Then one ordinary afternoon, someone opens a door.

There’s no dramatic introduction. No extraordinary conversation. No reason for either of them to give the encounter another thought.

Except they do.

And when their paths cross again, and then again, coincidence begins to feel like something neither can quite explain.

They don’t know each other’s stories. They barely know each other’s names.

But sometimes the smallest moments have a way of becoming the ones that matter.

And sometimes the distance between two lives is much shorter than anyone realizes.

A note about the story

Three Streets Away is a serialized contemporary romance about two independent adults, unexpected connections, and everything that happens between the words.

It’s a story of ordinary places, imperfect people, dry humor, quiet attraction, and the occasional inconvenient feeling.

Some moments will be illustrated. Others will be left entirely to your imagination.

Because not everything needs to be explained.

And certainly not everything needs to be shown.

One chapter at a time.
