The Aimless Archer

Rishi never meant to fall in love-not with him, anyway. All she wanted was a taste of freedom.

Moritz wasn't aiming either. Bratty, stubborn, always ready to argue-she was a walking headache he was asked to look after.

Their banter became friendship. Their friendship became something they couldn't name. Until everything fell apart.

She had secrets. He felt betrayed. And when it ended, they became polite, distant strangers who once almost had something real.

But love, as they've learned, doesn't care for pride, timing, or unspoken truths.

And sometimes, the arrow that missed the first time still knows exactly where to land.
