Toby Eathon had a simple plan for his first day of university: keep his head down, stay invisible, and hit the reset button on his quiet, predictable life.
That changed the moment he met Elly Gormeo, a philosophy major with cat ears who pulled him from the safety of a taxi into a breathless run through city traffic.
She was everything he wasn't: loud, impulsive, and unapologetically alive. But beneath Elly's bright, chaotic energy lay a secret she never spoke of.
As Toby was drawn deeper into her world, he realized he was navigating more than just a budding romance. He was uncovering a past that still haunted her, and he had to decide how close he could get to her.
And if he did, what would it cost him?
