Sophie's life goes by with late nights at her stepfather's diner, stale coffee, and the weight of someone else's control pressing down on her every move. Frank calls it "protection."
One night, a stranger slides into seat eight. A badge on his belt. A gaze that feels like trouble and safety all at once. In that single shift, her world tilts. Between whispers, Frank's tightening grip, and the cop who can't seem to stay away, Sophie is forced to choose: keep living in someone else's shadow, or step into the sun and risked getting burned.
A story about identity, first love, and the kind of resilience that blooms in the cracks of hopelessness and despair
