Black_Coffee_lover
She didn't come to college to fall in love.
She came to survive.
Anya Verma is sharp, guarded, and carrying scars she never talks about. Behind her fearless eyes and quiet strength is a past that still tightens around her chest when she least expects it. She believes control is safe-and emotions are dangerous.

Krish Reddy is chaos wrapped in charm. Flirty one moment, distant the next. He smiles easily, hides deeply, and feels like a storm Anya knows she should avoid... yet can't. There's something broken in him that mirrors something broken in her-and that scares her more than anything.
________________________________________
Thrown together by fate, college life, and unfinished pain, their connection turns intense, confusing, and impossible to ignore. Love doesn't arrive gently. It collides. It hurts. It heals. And sometimes-it exposes truths people are desperate to keep hidden.
But when past trauma resurfaces, loyalties blur, and emotions spiral out of control,
Anya must ask herself:
Is loving him worth the cost of losing herself?
And is Krish capable of loving without destroying?
A slow-burn, dark-tinged college romance filled with emotional intensity, quiet breakdowns, unexpected tenderness, and the kind of love that doesn't come easy-but stays.
Some stories don't begin with love.
They begin with survival.
