Seattle Love Symphony (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/story/391588455-seattle-love-symphony?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_myworks&wp_uname=AustenBlakeBooks UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY! When Lori's father left her mother to marry an old millionaire, Lori had to watch their love affair bloom through the lens of the paparazzi. She didn't want to, but it was everywhere. Now, she runs from any trace of love. She turns off her emotions to focus on her only rock-steady relationship-music. A leading violinist at Seattle U of Fine Arts and only months away from graduation and an audition for the Seattle Symphony, this needs to be all that matters. Then Marcos Julián happens. Charming, complicated, impossible to ignore. He takes her, unintentionally, to meet his abuela on their accidental first date, yes, an accident, and yet, somehow, it's perfect. He's messy in a way that pulls her in. A song she never meant to learn, now lodged in her bones. For a moment, they are melody in a world of noise. Until she finds out, he wasn't just anyone. He was her best friend Clare's, once, or something close enough to it. And worse, there's a darkness teeming in him, a weight he carries that love alone may never be able to lift. Lori swore she'd never let herself fall. Now, she's not sure if she's running toward something or straight into disaster.
