    Summary

    Saint’s family owned an orchard on the edge of town—people said it was cursed, that the fruit made you dream too vividly, left your body too soft.

    When Shin’s family moved away to treat his broken leg, he promised he’d come back for Saint. Three years later, at eighteen, he finally does.
    And when he returns, he finds he can’t stay away—not from the orchard, or from the boy waiting inside it.

    The first time he sees Saint again, he’s standing under a tree, fingers stained red from split fruit, watching Shin like no time has passed at all.

    Every time Shin tastes the orchard’s sweetness or lingers too long in its hush, he dreams of Saint’s mouth on his skin—until he can’t tell if the hunger rising in him belongs to Saint, or to something older still.
