Second book in "The Spectrum of Response" series. [Accept (verb) - to consider something as satisfactory, reasonable, or true] Two years later, Avery Quinn and Billie Eilish are no longer just college girls with secrets - they're artists on the rise, deeply in love and chasing dreams once thought unreachable. Billie's debut album has launched her into stardom, and with a world tour on the horizon, she's ready to share her voice with millions. Avery, now a celebrated painter, has stepped out of the café and into the spotlight - her work raw, intimate, and adored. But success brings new challenges. As Billie's fame grows, Avery begins to question her own place in the world - and in Billie's. The dream of dancing again, long buried beneath trauma and time, resurfaces with aching urgency. With Billie's unwavering support, Avery must decide whether she's ready to fight for that dream - or if it's too late. Meanwhile, someone close to them is quietly unraveling. Surrounded by laughter, love, and late-night confessions, they hide a truth that's become harder to carry. Their heart is full - but not for the person it's supposed to be. Fame, healing, jealousy, and the slow ache of unspoken feelings threaten to shift the ground beneath them all. And with a familiar darkness still lurking in the shadows, this next chapter could be the one that changes everything. Because even the strongest love must weather new storms. And sometimes, the hardest person to be honest with... is yourself.

Billie Eilish walks into a tattoo shop at 1:12 a.m. She doesn't want ink. She doesn't want pictures. She just doesn't want to be alone. Nyx Calder works nights for a reason. Silence suits her. Pain doesn't scare her. And famous girls with haunted eyes aren't her problem-until Billie keeps coming back. What starts as late-night conversations and borrowed cigarettes turns into something heavier. Something dangerous. Billie is unraveling under the weight of her own mind-depression, insomnia, intrusive thoughts she never talks about. Nyx doesn't try to save her. She just stays. Hands steady. Voice low. Presence grounding. But intimacy gets complicated when one of you belongs to the world, and the other refuses to. Still Breathing Next to You is a slow-burn, WLW story about desire, mental illness, control, and choosing to stay alive when someone finally sees you in the dark.

"Quackity?" I spin around, tackling him and tumbling roughly into the wall behind us. I pin his wrist down, tears dropping onto his soon-to-be crimson shirt. I can almost see the blood seeping out of the wounds I intend to slice into his skin. His pupils dilate as he clutches the dagger's hilt before it meets the vulnerable flesh of his neck. "Quackity drop the fucking knife," Wilbur hisses, gritting his teeth. My eyes widen as my grip loosens on the blade and his wrist, the knife clattering out of my grasp as I stare at him. I dip down, sensing the tension hovering between us, feeling his heart hammer against his ribcage. From where sit straddling his waist, I see his face soften at the sight of my dishevelment. "What are you so afraid of?" he whispers gently. * * * Synopsis: Behind closed doors, a casino isn't all glittering lights and card games. It's made of traitors and cheaters...
