Isaac Hale doesn't feel much these days. At nineteen, he drifts through college with noise-cancelling headphones and a half-hearted pulse, haunted by a quiet depression he no longer tries to explain. He's not looking for a miracle. He's just trying to make it to tomorrow.
Then he hears her.
Lena Marlowe is loud in the quietest way. A songwriter with tangled hair and a voice like a secret, she doesn't just enter rooms, she changes them. When she stumbles into Isaac's life at an open mic night, something shifts. He doesn't believe in fate, but he believes in the way she makes him feel less lost.
As late-night conversations turn into shared songs and something softer begins to bloom, Isaac starts to imagine the possibility of more, more than numbness, more than just surviving.
But some things can't last forever.
