The night Lulu first sees Eli at the bonfire, something shifts. He's quiet, distant, and completely unreadable-but somehow, impossible to look away from. She doesn't know his name, his story, or why he makes the world feel slower when he's near. But something in her already knows: she's going to fall for him. This is the story of the first time she let herself fall-completely, recklessly, and without a single piece of armor left. Started 4/22/25
