    Summary

    Sophia has learned that love always comes with a price. Joel doesn’t believe he deserves it.

    She spends her days stitching other people back together and pretending her own wounds don’t exist.

    He makes furniture and fixes what he can, trying to prove his hands can build things instead of breaking them.

    Neither of them are whole.

    But slowly, during quiet mornings and late-night conversations, they start to hope their broken pieces might fit together.

    Summary

    You come home at 19 because you’ve run out of places to fall.
    Back to a father you barely know.
    Back to a house that feels too small for your anger, your loneliness, your life.

    And then there’s Joel Miller, the man next door. Older. Quiet. Steady. The kind of man who shouldn’t look at you the way he does… and the kind of man you shouldn’t want.
    But tension like this doesn’t stay harmless. It pulls. It burns. It ruins sleep.

    What starts as glances through open windows and arguments that leave your pulse racing spirals into something deeper, heavier, impossible to ignore. Something that scares you both in different ways.

    This is a story about desire that hits before you’re ready, love that hurts before it heals, and two people who keep finding their way back to each other through every mistake, every distance, every ache.

    A slow burn that smolders.
    A heartbreak that lingers.
    A connection that refuses to die.
