Half of Everything

Kei Aeron Virell spent ten years loving someone who never stayed. When it ended, he was left with silence, scars, and only half of himself to carry forward.

Then came Neriah Solene Dava. Fierce, kind, and broken in her own way. She believed in honesty, in second chances, and in not settling for almosts. She reminded him it was okay to feel, to rest, and to begin again.

But love isn't easy when everyone is still healing. Kei's heart is still tethered to the past. Neriah's torn between two families that never felt whole. And his ex is still haunted by a love that made him believe he wasn't worth keeping.

They're all carrying halves. Of guilt, of love, of grief.

As old wounds resurface and feelings grow too loud to ignore, Kei and Neriah must decide: can two broken people make something whole? Or are they just pieces in a story that was never meant to fit?

Because sometimes, love doesn't ask for everything. Just the half you're brave enough to give.
