Tender Stories

Before they became each other's greatest love, they were just two seven-year-olds trying to survive the summer. Zack never expected a chance encounter to give him a best friend. Vivi never expected someone to choose her so easily. Day after day, they built a tiny world of memories, childish promises, and a quiet certainty that they'd always have each other. Then one mistake changed everything. They were too young to understand what had happened, but some childhood moments never stop echoing. Years later, both of their lives would still be shaped by a decision made by two children who thought tomorrow would always come. This is the beginning of Zack and Vivi's story - the summer they found each other, and the day they would spend the rest of their lives looking back on.

Heart-wrenching, lyrical, and achingly intimate, Collapse Theory is a novel about addiction, grief, faith, and the quiet ways trauma teaches us to confuse survival with living. It is a story about first love, the unbearable cost of trying to save someone who cannot save themselves, and the long, uncertain journey of learning that healing is not the same as forgetting. Because sometimes the greatest tragedy isn't losing the person you love. It's surviving them.

For years, I gave Rex Williams everything. I knew his coffee order before he said it, ironed his shirts without being asked, kept the apartment warm, clean, and ready so he could walk in and feel taken care of. Then the comments started appearing. The more they pointed out the cracks, the harder it was to ignore the truth. Then he broke up with me because I felt more like a mom than a girlfriend. The hard part was figuring out who I was without him - and why my best friend was suddenly the only person who made me feel safe, seen, and wanted.
