She thought she was finally safe. After years spent surviving in silence, Ellie keeps her world small - Juniper, her cat, curled up in the sun; well-worn books stacked like barricades; and a life carefully crafted to stay under the radar. But when her landlord decides to sell, and two unlikely allies step into her life - Julian, with his infectious energy and quick wit, and Cole, whose steady presence and quiet strength shield her like a fortress - Ellie finds herself offered not just a place to stay, but a chance at something fragile and new. Together, they begin to rewrite what safety and trust can look like. Safety was never real. It was a story she told herself to keep going. Because someone out there remembers exactly how the truth ends. Now, with old shadows clawing back into her life, Ellie is forced to confront what it means to be truly seen, to be cared for - and how that care can come with its own risks. Some ghosts don't knock before they come back. And some never left at all.
