"I wasn't unloved. I was just... unnoticed."
Elara lived her life like a ghost in her own home. No abuse, no trauma—just a vast, echoing absence of affection. By twenty-five, she’s a woman who never asks for help and never expects a hand to hold.
Then comes Julian. He’s the first person to notice the way she shrinks into herself. The first person to ask, "Are you okay?" and actually wait for the answer.
Falling for him is the most dangerous thing she’s ever done. Because if she lets him in, she has to admit how much it hurt to be left out in the cold for so long.
