𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
"𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮" Abby Littman has spent years battling the silent monster that no one seems to notice-herself. Trapped in the relentless grip of an eating disorder, she hides behind baggy sweaters, meticulous routines, and carefully constructed lies. Control is all she has, and losing it feels impossible. The daughter of Elaine Littman, a therapist more devoted to her patients than her own daughter, Abby has learned to fade into the background. Her mother's attention is measured and clinical, leaving Abby to navigate her pain alone, careful never to break the fragile balance she has built. Her world begins to shift when Adriano Vega steps into it-sharp-eyed, unyielding, and dangerous in a way that makes her pulse quicken. He doesn't demand her, yet somehow he anchors her, stirring emotions she thought she had buried long ago. Every glance, every touch threatens to unravel the control she clings to so desperately. Then there's Noah Reed. Quiet, steady, and unexpectedly kind, he notices the cracks in her armor without prying, offering a sense of calm and understanding that feels entirely foreign. Where Adriano is intensity and danger, Noah is a gentle presence that makes her question what she truly wants-and what she might be willing to risk. Caught between intensity and gentleness, danger and safety, Abby must navigate her own fragile heart while deciding how much of herself she's willing to surrender. In a world where loyalty, perception, and survival are intertwined, can she learn to be seen on her own terms-and discover whether love is something that saves her, or something she must save herself from?
