Xyra, 24, is an introvert with a sharp tongue and a quiet dream-to pass the bar exam and finally stand on her own. While her sister Agnes chases parties and her brother Nick meddles in everyone's lives, Xyra prefers the peace of her grandmother's farm, far away from judgmental whispers and suffocating social circles. What no one knows? She's about to finish her law degree-and prove that she's more than the "strange youngest child" everyone thinks she is. Enter Lee-29, steady, successful, and secretly in love with Xyra since they were teenagers. The problem? He's Nick's best friend...and the very man Agnes has been chasing since she was sixteen. When fate brings Lee back to the farm, long-buried feelings resurface. But in a world of family drama, jealousy, and old scars, can Xyra trust herself to open her guarded heart? And will Lee finally find the courage to choose the woman he's loved all along-even if it means breaking someone else's? A slow-burn romance about ambition, independence, and the love that quietly waits until you're ready.
