Summary
Violet Sorrengail has spent seven months being very normal about her neighbor.
So normal, in fact, that she has put Xaden Riorson in a very specific box: Thursday nights, no feelings, back across the hall before he can do anything dangerous, like ask about her day. It is not dating. It is not friendship. It is not part of her real life. Violet has said this so many times it almost sounds true.
But the problem with keeping the men in her life in separate boxes is that sometimes the boxes start wanting each other.
RQ Summer Exchange 2026: Buckle up—we're doing a chapter a day from July 13–20.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail moved into her new apartment for peace and the chance to rebuild a life where no man had opinions about her shower curtain.
Then Xaden Riorson moved in across the hall. Now there's a man in her gym correcting her squat form and making himself impossible to ignore. But Violet knows better than to mistake attention for interest, or chemistry for safety. She has already learned that lesson the hard way.
"Next time," Xaden said, his voice dropping an octave, "save yourself the Uber."
Violet stopped dead. Her key scraped uselessly against the metal plate beside the lock. "Excuse me?"
"I live right here, Violet." He shifted back half a step, opening the doorway wider without taking his eyes off her. "You don't have to go that far."
Or: The origin story of Thursday nights, stolen mail, and the arrangement Violet keeps insisting is not part of her real life.
