[VIOLENCE | TRIGGER WARNING | STRONG LANGUAGE]
Iris Catmint, known for her love of gossip and her vibrant, outgoing nature, always had a knack for drawing people in. When she first met Archer, her brother's mysterious best friend, she felt an immediate connection.
Archer, however, went out of his way to avoid even the briefest glance her way. Yet, despite his resistance, he couldn't deny her undeniable charm.
Catmint's one true dream has always been to become a wife and mother, a vision she's held dear for as long as she can remember. Archer, on the other hand, harbors a deep disdain for that dream, though his reasons remain a mystery to her, even after they've spent so much time together.
Can their differences be reconciled, or will their opposing views on life pull them in different directions?
