desperateness
Kamala Harris never expected her husband's misguided attempt to surprise her would lead to the arrival of an escort, a woman whose poise hides an ocean of secrets. What should have been an awkward, forgettable encounter instead plants a quiet spark that Kamala can't seem to shake.
Scarlet is magnetic yet untouchable, a woman who has spent years building walls out of silence, wit, and control. But in Kamala's presence, those walls begin to crack. As public life grows more demanding and private desires blur into dangerous territory, Kamala finds herself drawn into a relationship that is as intoxicating as it is risky.
What begins as a mistake spirals into a delicate dance of longing, laughter, and hidden pain, forcing both women to ask themselves how much they are willing to risk for something real in a world built on appearances.
