Adhira Shah wants a soft place to land after graduation—a place untouched by truths of a diagnosis she isn’t ready to face. More than anything, she needs a roommate who won’t ask questions.
Elijah Elliott is supposed to be exactly that. Until he starts to notice everything.
When Adhira’s body begins betraying her in ways she can no longer hide, Elijah sees the truth she’s been carrying alone. And she realizes that with him, she doesn’t have to pretend she’s okay.
What grows between them is tender and unspoken—built in late nights, careful touches, and a closeness neither of them knows how to name.
Because falling in love when your future feels fragile is terrifying. And sometimes, the gentlest love is the most devastating of all.
