Adelaide refuses to be defined by hospital walls and worried glances. Trapped in a body that betrays her, she seeks freedom in the little things-laughter, adventure, and moments that make her feel alive. She writes down everything she wants to do, determined to leave behind more than just memories of someone fragile. Then she meets Kaneesha, a girl who sees life through a lens of emptiness. A girl who doesn't believe in tomorrow. Drawn to her despite their differences, Adelaide shares pieces of her own light, not to change her, but simply because she wants to. But some things remain unspoken, and no amount of time is ever enough.

Kaneesha has always found comfort in books-escaping into stories where she can feel without being seen, where she can breathe without the weight of reality crushing her. In the silence of her room, reading and writing have been her only refuge from a life that feels unbearable. Trapped in a toxic home, she sees no future worth living for-until she meets Adelaide. Adelaide, who is full of life, pulls Kaneesha into moments she never thought she'd experience. With each shared moment, and unexpected conversation, Kaneesha begins to question everything she once believed. Did she truly want to disappear, or had she just been waiting for something-or someone-to remind her how it feels to be alive?
