𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞 is everything that she'd ever dreamed to be. Not exactly a princess like her younger self would've imagined, but, nevertheless, she had so much going for her. She was beauty and brains. As she studies in university to become a surgeon, her life remains simplistic. That is until 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 shows up. Madison doesn't just peacefully enter Ariella's life after all of their years apart- she causes a 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑚. From her dangerously scented perfume to her bored gaze, she alters Ariella's life completely.

'Solitude' Philosopher Philip Koch defined it as "A stretch of experience disengaged from other people in perception, thought, emotion, and action" Solitude is an experience that can exist regardless of physical location, defined by the "absence" of other people, internally otherlessness, a spiritual/philosophical concept regarding the dissolution of self and a literary/existential term for extreme isolation. At forty-five, Professor Loredana Dove has built her life on control. Keeping her colleagues at arm's length and her students at a distance. At home, her marriage to an absent, quarrelsome wife is crumbling, leaving her to raise their five year old daughter in quiet isolation. She has convinced herself she needs nothing more until Romina Maple crashes into her classroom. Nineteen smart, and reckless, Romina is the youngest in her year. To her classmates she's the loud, infuriating party girl; to herself, she's struggling with mental health, taking care of her three year old brother and the only responsible adult in a house run by aging grandparents, her defiance masks hunger, her insolence disguises fear. Their lives should never touch. Yet hunger recognizes hunger. What begins as irritation morphs into fascination, into a closeness neither woman knows how to resist. Boundaries blur. Rules splinter. And both must face the truth: some desires do not starve quietly, and some silences can undo a lifetime of control. Our Shared Solitude is a story of two women who should have walked away yet found themselves consumed by the one thing they were never meant to want.
