They were never supposed to mean anything.
Roselle Leighton doesn't do messy love-
she studies the ocean, not people. Keeps things controlled. Distant. Safe.
Josh Heuston lives in the opposite world-
cameras, attention, and a past he can't seem to quit.
They meet during a turtle conservation campaign.
One viral moment later, the internet thinks they're together.
His solution?
"Come to Portugal with me. Pretend this is real."
Two weeks. His sister's wedding. One rule: don't catch feelings.
But pretending starts to feel... easy.
Too easy.
Because with him, it's quiet.
And with her, it's real.
And neither of them trust that.
His past pulls him back.
Hers refuses to let go.
And the second it stops feeling fake-
he chooses something else.
Now Roselle has to decide:
Was she ever more than a lie he needed-
or just practice for the girl he couldn't leave behind?
