But one slip in her carefully crafted mask is all it takes for Ivy Adair, her cold and calculating psychology teacher, to notice the cracks. Ivy is the last person Adrienne should trust, and the only one she can't seem to stay away from. Wanting distance is easy. Keeping it is impossible. ‼️ GAY ‼️ SEXUAL CONTENT ‼️ ABUSE AND VIOLENCE - There will not be warnings in individual chapters. This book is for mature audiences only.

Amelia Erisse Belivet is a second-year Fine Arts student cursed with a mind that refuses to forget. For her, the past is a permanent, sensory haunting-a relentless loop. Each memory is a fresh wound, making it impossible for her to heal or move forward. It's as if her mind is a prison, and the bars are forged from her own suffering, locking her into a present of past pain. She drifts through the studio like a phantom drowning in her own history, until she meets Miss Avri. A master of the canvas with a serene, magnetic intensity, Avri governs her classroom with a prim and graceful discipline. While she is firm in her expectations, her gaze softens with a hidden, protective warmth the moment it lands on Amelia. Sensing Amelia's struggles, Miss Avri takes a special interest in her, guiding her to use her painful memories as inspiration for her art, hoping to help her heal. But as their bond strengthens, Amelia notices cracks in the professor's composed exterior. She begins to realize that Avri's kindness isn't just professional guidance; it's recognition. There is a reason the professor understands Amelia's suffering so well, and it is tied to a mysterious past Avri is desperate to keep hidden beneath the canvas.
