VanDerek
They left home at the same time.
Just not in the same direction.
Vann is building structure-early mornings, long days, learning how to move with purpose in a world that expects consistency.
Malcolm is stepping into momentum-college, competition, pressure, and a life that doesn't slow down long enough to think.
Different cities. Different rhythms.
Same connection.
At first, it feels simple. Calls when they can. Texts in between. Showing up the best way they know how.
But life doesn't pause.
Time gets tighter. Days get fuller. And somewhere between everything they're building individually-
they have to figure out how to keep choosing each other too.
Because love isn't the hard part.
Making space for it is.
Call Me Vann: Away From Home is a dual POV story about growth, distance, and what it really looks like to build a life-without losing the person you want in it.
