    Summary

    “Columbina!” she hissed, “It’s the middle of the night, what do you think you’re doing knocking on my door?”

    There was silence after her question.

    “Well? Did you come by just to disturb me for no reason, or do you have something to say?!” She pressed, walking up to the closed door.

    “May I come in?”

    Summary

    That word, engaged.

    Hope blooms suddenly in her heart. Engaged -- that means marriage, and marriage means citizenship. The immigration lawyer had mentioned that before, but she's not even seeing anyone at the moment. Not that it was a surprise, since she's spent the entirety of her adult life making her career her absolute top priority. 

    Getting engaged to someone is impossible, unless she...

    Unless she somehow fakes it.

    But, who? Who the hell would go along with something like that? Who would agree to fake being her fiancée just to save her job?

    Her eyes land on her assistant.

    OR

    Desperate to retain her visa status in Snezhnaya, Sandrone forces her put-upon assistant, Columbina, into marriage to save her.

    Summary

    Columbina tapped her chin very slowly. “Well, I'm the one wearing an apron and nametag while you aren't… If anything, I should be asking who you are.”

    Sandrone has to force herself not to explode at this point. She's offended, she's confused, she's annoyed to hell and back. Whatever trick the universe was pulling on her at this very moment, she does not like it.

    “Hah, as if you don't already know my name for some reason,” she snaps back. “You know what, I’m not going to waste my time dealing with you.”

    Without caring for an answer, she immediately pushes past Columbina to go into the backroom to look for Lauma. If only she had turned back – even for a split second – before the curtain closed, then she would have seen the abrupt change in Columbina's expression.

    Sandrone is broke, tired, hungry, and worst of all, an engineering student.

    After her father gets hospitalized, she decides to get a part-time job at a flower shop to become less of a burden to him, but what she doesn't expect is the annoying and utterly incompetent coworker that she has to put up with.

    Summary

    Sandrone prefers silence, and the empty seat beside her. It is a space no one in class ever sits in.

    Then a new student transfers in.

    Soft-spoken. Calm.

    And unexpectedly… blind — walking with a white cane and quiet confidence straight toward the empty seat beside Sandrone, throwing her completely off-guard.

    The new student isn’t fragile.
    She isn’t helpless.
    And for the first time, someone sits beside Sandrone without fear.

    And that’s what unsettles Sandrone most.

    To make matters worse, she’s assigned as the transfer student’s “class buddy.”

    “The hallway’s getting crowded,” the new girl says softly.
    “Can I stay closer to you?”

    Sandrone scoffs.

    “Stay close.”
    A pause.
    “…If you want.”
