A tender kind of darkness

Elara Vale keeps to herself. She's quiet, careful, and very good at hiding what's broken inside.
Riven Hale is loud, reckless, and the kind of person who seems impossible to pin down. No one knows how much of him is real not even himself.
When their paths cross, nothing goes as expected. They clash. They irritate each other. They test boundaries. And somewhere in the chaos, they see each other for who they really are.
"I didn't need him to fix me. I needed him to see me in the dark."
Two broken people. Same kind of hurt. Neither is looking for love. But sometimes, just being seen is enough.
