Leo is a tiny, anxious poet who knows exactly how cruel people can be about bodies that don't fit. Claire is a 7'3 MMA girl who has learned to laugh before anyone else can. They meet by accident on a dating app, and at first, they seem like opposites in every possible way - except both of them know what it feels like to be judged before saying a word. Between awkward jokes, late-night texts, and one very intimidating first meeting, they might find out that being "too much" or "not enough" hurts a little less when someone finally gets it. Hello, dear reader! I would really appreciate any feedback!

He had not left his room in seventy-four days. Then the world came to collect. Adrian used to be a student, a poet, and someone who believed the world was beautiful. Then he lost his sight. Two years later, his life has narrowed to one room, a screen reader, delivery apps, unanswered messages, and poems he writes before sunrise because sleep comes too late. He knows the world is still out there - rain, traffic, faces, morning light, people with places to be. He just no longer believes there is a place in it for him. Maya has never had that problem. She is a university student with bad coffee, worse time management, a sharp mouth, and a body trained by years of kickboxing to keep moving when life gets ugly. She is not gentle, not delicate, and not particularly good at leaving strangers alone when they are clearly lying. When a prescription forces Adrian outside for the first time in months, one wrong turn is enough to break the fragile route he planned in his head. The city is too loud, too fast, too full of hands and voices and crossings he cannot trust. And then Maya finds him. Lost. Furious. Terrified. Insisting he is fine. Their first meeting should last ten minutes. Instead, it becomes the beginning of a slow, uneasy connection between a boy who has forgotten how to live beyond four walls and a girl who has spent her whole life refusing to slow down. She can guide him through streets. He can hear every lie in her voice. Neither of them is ready for what happens when being found starts to feel more dangerous than being lost. !!!
