Sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person.
Amara Lune has built her life on movement-between jobs, between dreams, between people who never stay long enough to matter. At twenty, she knows how to survive. How to smile when she's exhausted. How to make everything look lighter than it feels. What she doesn't know... is how to let anyone see what's underneath.
Isadora Laurent has spent years perfecting stillness. At forty-two, her world is controlled, structured, and carefully untouched by anything she cannot manage. Success came easily. Control came naturally. And love-love became something she learned to live without.
When their worlds collide, it isn't dramatic. It isn't instant.
It's quiet.
A conversation that lingers a little too long.
A presence that becomes difficult to ignore.
A connection neither of them planned... and neither of them knows how to handle.
Because Amara doesn't stay.
And Isadora doesn't let people in.
But somewhere between distance and closeness, between restraint and longing, something begins to shift.
And for the first time in a long time-
they both find themselves wondering what it might mean...
to finally feel at home.
