she was supposed to have the perfect life, a perfect fiancé, a perfect home, a perfect future already mapped out for her.
but perfection always looks different when the doors are closed.
when jordan bennett meets evan buckley after a routine emergency call, he's just another firefighter doing his job. she's just another name attached to a scene she wishes she could forget. Neither of them expects anything to change.
It does anyway.
because buck starts noticing the things she tries to hide.. the hesitation in her voice, the way she flinches at certain words, the life she carefully edits before anyone can see too much. and the more time he spends around her, the harder it becomes to ignore that something is wrong.
at home, her fiancé makes sure she remembers what she owes him. at work, buck makes her wonder what she might deserve instead.
and somewhere between late-night conversations, and the quiet moments no one else sees, jordan starts to realize she's been surviving, not living.
