She is a flame doused in water still desperate to burn
Ira Scindia doesn't have any time to waste on his feelings after getting burned by real life.
But he persists. Like ice, never melting in the face of her wrath.
════ ⋆★⋆ ════
After returning to life from a harrowing incident, Ira Scindia spends most of her time coaxing her son to speak or with the boards, successfully running her event management business.
All that changes when Graham Montague, the golden retriever of a man steps into her carefully curated world, with his sunny smile and ridiculous accent. He invades her meticulously ordered world, one built on silence and suffering and carefully peels back layers off her.
She doesn't have time for his nonsense neither does her son. Yet he lingers in every nook and corner of her life, making it difficult for her to ever look away.
But the dead don't stay buried.
As shadows rise and old wounds still burn will she fight it all alone? Or will she learn to lean on the one man who was brave to stay?
