Hiraya Ami Alcuaz was supposed to marry a man she had never met. It was tradition, family duty... A beautiful prison wrapped in white flowers and old money. The rules were simple: come home, prepare for the wedding, meet the groom at the altar, and sing like the perfect bride everyone expected her to be, but then Mika, her meddling cousin and self-appointed fairy godmother, hires Elara Liora Madrigal as her vocal coach. Elara is soft-spoken, painfully polite, and careful in a way Hiraya doesn't understand at first but when she sings, everything about her changes. Her voice is full of longing, truth, and emotions Hiraya has spent years trying to bury. Hiraya only needed to learn a wedding song. She did not expect to learn how to breathe again and she definitely did not expect to fall for the woman teaching her how to use her voice.
