Nozomi Matsumoto wasn't exactly living the dream. A Japanese expat with no fancy degree, no savings, and a résumé that screamed "just winging it," she had one thing going for her, she could pour a drink like a boss, and trust me, that talent paid the bills. Her bank account? Let's just say it was the punchline of every joke she told herself. But hey, she had a friend whose family treated her like their own daughter, so who needed cash when you had love... right? Then, a ridiculously gorgeous six-foot blonde strolls into her life, looking like she'd just escaped a Vogue cover shoot. Nozomi's carefully crafted little world? Yeah, it got flipped upside down faster than a shaken cocktail. Suddenly, Miss "I've got this all figured out" was tangled in a mess of feelings she wasn't ready for and honestly, she was kinda loving the chaos. Twenty-four years of "playing it cool" went out the window the second those killer eyes locked onto hers, daring her to rewrite the whole damn script.

One night. One mistake. Two cold souls - Vesper Astria Green-Sandoval, an 18-year-old artist with a mind for the stars, and Aysun Celestine Carter-Costa, a 20-year-old mystery with ice in her veins and a camera always in hand - are drugged by unknown perpetrators during a university event. Meant to be victims of something far worse, fate twisted the night, binding them in a confusing, accidental one-night stand neither of them planned nor consented to. Now entangled in guilt, secrets, and questions, the two must navigate the aftermath of that fateful encounter. But when feelings begin to bloom in the midst of trauma, can love truly grow between two girls shaped by silence, shadows, and survival? Or will the truth of Celestine's hidden identity - and the people who tried to harm them - destroy everything before it even begins?
