    Summary

    “For most people, the day was ending.
    For North, it was only beginning.”

    North has spent his whole life measuring freedom by sunset. Born with xeroderma pigmentosum, he sleeps through Bangkok’s brightest hours and comes alive only after dark, carrying a guitar, a stubborn sense of humor, and a quiet dream of being heard beyond the street corner where he performs.

    Johan Kanawut has never had to wait for anything. He is a university student, the heir to a feared and impossibly wealthy family, and already the young CEO of one arm of its business empire. Money opens doors for him. His name closes mouths. Problems are things he has been raised to solve.

    Then he hears North sing.

    Falling in love is the easy part. Learning not to turn love into protection, protection into control, and fear into a cage is harder. As North’s music begins to reach people far beyond the night streets where Johan first found him, his health begins to change too. Together, they have to decide what it means to build a life when time has never promised to be fair—and whether a life has to be long to be full.
