MELTING ME SOFTLY

Renna Rose Lancaster is the girl people stare at like she belongs in a glass case, a life airbrushed into unattainable perfection.

But Renna knows her life is nothing but a golden prison coated in pretty lies that keep her muted and small.

Her days are rehearsed into something delicate and careful, her voice cropped into harmless replies that soothe everyone except her own skin.

She is tired of being the pretty prop everyone tries to claim.
Tired of sculpting her smile into something pretty enough to display.

She craves something wild enough to bruise.
A tale that scars.
Someone ruthless enough to crack her open and let the real Renna bleed out.

Aadam Alaric Callahan is the boy people look at like he walked straight out of a storm, a warning shaped into a body that keeps the world stepping back.

But Aadam knows the storm is only armor forged to bury the wounds tearing at him in the dark.

His nights collapse into frantic patterns that scrape at his sanity, his thoughts twisting into brutal corridors he cannot escape alone.

He is tired of being the haunted figure everyone judges.
Tired of forcing his heartbeat to mimic cold iron while the rest of him crumbles toward collapse.

He longs for something fierce enough to drag him back from the brink.
A light that stays bright even when the night closes in.
Someone who'll stare into the abyss with the real Aadam and refuse to look away.

She recognizes the ghost of the boy who once held her like she was the only sunrise he could still believe in.

He hears echoes of the girl whose reckless laugh once drowned out the screams in his skull.

Will they claw through the years of ruin to find that old fire again... or will the same shadows that shattered them finally swallow them whole, leaving nothing but ghosts and graves?
