Quinn Winters never expected to see the boy who made her life miserable sitting across from her.
She's barely holding herself together, and the last person she wants anywhere near her is Xavier Cole-the school's golden-boy hockey captain and the same person who spent years making her dread every school day.
The rules are simple: show up, talk, and don't walk away.
Neither of them plans to follow the last one.
As the sessions continue, the walls between them begin to crack. Behind Xavier's reputation is a boy carrying secrets of his own, and behind Quinn's silence is a grief too heavy to face alone.
What starts as forced conversations becomes an unexpected friendship. And somewhere between shared confessions, quiet apologies, and learning how to breathe again, they discover that healing is easier when someone chooses to stay.
Sometimes the people who hurt us the most become the ones who help us heal.
Sometimes fixing someone else starts with letting them fix you, too.
