Esmery Quinn is a sharp-tongued, emotionally guarded nurse who's built walls around her heart after two failed relationships left her wary of love. When she's paired up with Ethan Hayes, an introverted elementary school teacher, for a health education project, their initial friction is undeniable. But beneath their bickering, there's chemistry neither can ignore. Ethan is intrigued by Esmery's competence and professionalism, while Esmery is quietly drawn to his calm, thoughtful nature. Their partnership begins as a simple collaboration, but as they spend more time together, their professional differences challenge them in unexpected ways. Despite the growing attraction, Esmery remains determined to keep things strictly professional, still hesitant to open her heart to anyone, especially someone like Ethan-who seems like the type to want more than just a friendly connection. When a former flame of Esmery's reappears and a dream job offer tempts her away, Ethan realizes that he could lose the one person who has disrupted his quiet, predictable world. As emotions run high and walls begin to crumble, they must decide whether they can trust each other enough to turn their connection into something lasting. But love isn't easy, and with their pasts haunting them, they'll have to learn that sometimes the hardest thing is taking a leap of faith. ~~~~~~~~~~ Started on 9 July 2025 Completed on 15 September 2025

To the day, she still had no idea how she survived that night; how she kept her pathetic whimpers into devolving into a keening cry. Even in her heartbreak she thought of his sensibilities rather than her own dignity and shame.

RJ Mathews doesn't do change. Her life works. There's music, her best friend and lastly, her daughter. When she takes on what is supposed to be just another writing gig with a popular but slowly fading band, Andante, she's met with Jooyeon Kang. Spectacular bassist, too much hair, too much quiet and resistance personified. He thinks she's cold and far too controlling. She thinks he's unreadable, too intense and way too good with her daughter, for it to be true. They don't like each other. They aren't friends. Yet, he can't stop watching, and she can't stop interfering. When attraction is masked as hostility, and one night making music, turns to many - it makes for something messy. It was supposed to be some company, some intimacy and something very, very fleeting. No feelings. No consequences. Or atleast, that's what they agreed on. But, when casual fails, rules break and hearts get involved - lines blur, loyalties are tested. All the while, RJ's past comes back to haunt her in ways she doesn't expect, and Jooyeon gets drawn into the cracks, becomes collateral. She pushes, but he only knows how to stay. What happens when something that they both swore won't mean anything begins to mean everything? A slow-burn romance where boundaries are crossed, choices are made, and two lonely, broken people with no plans of falling in love, do. And, they fall off the deep end.

When she wakes up in Matt's bed - a former military man who has lived in a world of darkness since the accident that left him in a wheelchair -she grows closer, despite their differences. And in the shadows of the remnants that periodically torments both, they form an unspoken bond. But the lines between contentment and complacency blur. Things left hidden resurface to tear their world apart, and before they can repair the damage, the pain is summoned again. Faces, past and present, gather around them to weather the storm, but soon they are left with only the wounds.
