    Summary

    Jason didn’t mean to adopt the cat. He also didn’t mean to get attached to the woman across the alley who helped him rescue it.

    Jason is a boxer living across the air shaft with a temper, a title qualifier coming up, and a bad habit of bleeding on people who are nice to him. She’s a ballerina working nights and trying to make rent. They are both too tired, too guarded, and too used to handling things alone.

    They start as neighbors. Then friends. Then something neither of them has the time or emotional stability to handle.
