She never expected to be saved.
Seventeen-year-old Y/N Brown has spent her life surviving-raising her little sister Nova in a home filled with addiction, fear, and violence. Between school, work, and protecting Nova from the worst of it, there's never been space for anything else. Not for rest. Not for safety. Not for herself.
Then there's Rose.
What starts as friendship becomes something deeper-something Y/N doesn't quite know how to hold onto. Because people like her don't get happy endings. They don't get soft places to land.
But when Rose's family steps in, everything begins to change.
A warm house. A full table. Arms that don't hurt.
It's unfamiliar. Overwhelming. Terrifying.
Because for the first time in her life-
Y/N isn't just surviving.
She's being cared for.
And learning to trust that maybe... she doesn't have to go back.
