    Summary

    Trinity Santos is three hours into a double shift, alone in the break room, when her phone buzzes with an unknown number. A stranger has sent a photo by accident, a red dress, an ornate mirror, a bare back, and is immediately, catastrophically mortified about it.
    Trinity is polite. She says she deleted it. She saves the contact as 'very hot stranger 🔥'.
    That's where it starts.

    Wrong number. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. SMAU-adjacent.

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.
