    Summary

    “What do you want?” Nesta hissed into the phone, trying to keep her voice down. 
    “Wow, good to hear you too.” Cassian's joke fell flatter than he expected. "It's just... You never replied. I needed to check if-”
    “I'm busy,” Nesta clipped. "I'm at my sisters'.”
    “Right. I figured. I don't know what I was thinking.” A pause. “I just... I’m leaving tomorrow. And it feels like we left things unfinished.”
    “We left things fine.”
    “We did?” He cleared his throat. “It doesn't feel fine.”
    Silence stretched again. Nesta pressed her shoulder against the wall, staring at nothing.
    “I wanted to see you tonight,” he said finally, less confident now. “Before I go.”

    Nesta Archeron returns home after a decade away from her sisters. When she unexpectedly meets Major Cassian Whakatāne, their paths keep crossing. The reality gets more complicated when her sister gets engaged to one of his brothers. Avoiding him is impossible and the harder they try and stay away, the more they want to be in each other's presence. And the harder they try to deny the pull between them, the harder they crash.

    Denial, secrecy and misunderstandings. Hopefully they will find a way to march to the same rhythm.
