Sometimes love is the only medicine that works.
After a shooting leaves 22-year-old Kairo confined to his bed, he's forced to sit with the pain-physical and emotional. Once a fast-moving poet with a dangerous past, Kairo now finds himself stuck in the silence of recovery, haunted by regret and the people he's pushed away.
When Nova, the girl who once loved him and left to save herself, reappears at his bedside, old wounds resurface. She came to check in, not check back in-but Kairo's vulnerability reveals sides of him she's never seen. As he heals, their connection deepens again, stirring up everything they tried to leave behind.
Torn between the street life that nearly took him out and the love that might finally save him, Kairo has to choose: keep running from himself or risk it all for a second chance at something real.

Say you love me
"I want to help you." His bright eyes sparkle in the moonlight. "You can't help me! You hurt me!" By now, the tears I had been desperately trying to hold back finally slip out. "They hurt you!" As he yells, the anger in his voice eases out; his eyes are filled with familiar sadness. "I have nowhere else to go." I shoot back, taking a step away from him, afraid he will strike me as everyone else does. As soon as he notices this, his eyes widen, and his fists relax. "Come with me." He responds, hope gleaming in his eyes. I look up at the bright moon shining down on us as the breeze ruffles my hair. "Come with you?" I question. Just as he nods my dizziness takes over, sending me to the ground. His hands wrap around me, barely catching me. "Don't let them hurt me." I whisper, looking into his eyes, trying to not let the spinning world take me. "They won't hurt you anymore.
