He only wanted a cheap room and a fresh start.
What Rody got was Vincent.
Rody moves into apartment 4B on Rue Morel with seventeen days of rent money, one bag, and zero expectations. The building is old, the walls are thin, and his neighbour across the hall is stranger than anyone he has ever met.
Vincent doesn't smile. Vincent doesn't explain himself. Vincent times his coffee to the exact minute Rody wakes up, fixes broken latches without being asked, and leaves flowers in locked rooms like it costs him nothing.
Like he has always had access. Like he always will.
It should be terrifying.
It isn't. And that is the most terrifying thing of all.
Because the more Rody sees, the harder it becomes to look away.
Vincent is obsessive in the way tides are obsessive - quiet, constant, and powerful enough to reshape coastlines if you let them. He doesn't demand. He doesn't chase. He simply decides - and then he is everywhere, in every small careful thing, in every cup of coffee and every perfectly chosen book and every moment of being seen in a way Rody has never quite been seen before.
What did he do to the person before you?
What will he do for you?
And when did the difference between those two questions stop mattering?
This is not a love story about two ordinary people.
This is a story about a man who loves like a locked door - completely, and from the inside - and another man who keeps knocking anyway.
About obsession that tastes like coffee and flowers and the exact right book at the exact right moment.
About the specific kind of danger that doesn't feel like danger because it feels like home.
About being chosen by someone who does not choose lightly.
And never lets go.

"He decided things about people. And once he decided - he was persistent."
