Whispers of First Love

Whispers of First Love

There are moments that don’t announce themselves.
They arrive quietly — a glance held just a heartbeat too long, a hand brushing another, a pause that changes the shape of everything that comes after.

Whispers of First Love is a small collection of sapphic stories about those beginnings. The first glance. The first touch. The confession disguised as something else. The almost-kiss. The morning after, when the world feels slightly different because you are.

These stories aren’t about grand declarations or perfect timing. They’re about the soft, brave moments we carry with us — the ones we return to years later, tracing their edges and remembering how it felt to realise we were already falling.

Below, you’ll find five illustrated stories, each capturing a single first that lingers long after it’s passed.

The Library Corner

A first glance held just long enough to change everything.

The Borrowed Jacket

A borrowed layer becomes the first touch neither of them can forget.

The Playlist

A confession sent at 2:47am, hidden inside a list of songs.

The Rain Walk Home

An almost-kiss in the rain that lingers, unfinished but inevitable.

The Morning After

Waking up to the quiet certainty of being seen, known, and chosen.
