Lily Green has always known how to make herself small.
The quiet sister. The gentle one. The girl with flour on her hands and a heart too big for its own good.
Even with money she never wanted, Lily chooses early mornings at a bakery, notebooks filled with thoughts she never says out loud, and a life she builds for herself. When she moves into Monica Geller's apartment, into the room down the hall, she doesn't expect much more than a place to sleep.
Instead, she finds a group of people who feed her, protect her, and slowly become her family.
A best friend who understands her soul.
A group that treats her like something precious.
And Joey Tribbiani, who makes space for her without even realizing he's doing it.
This is a slow-burn story about softness in a loud world, about finding home where you least expect it, and about the kind of love that feels like it was always there.
