Vivienne thought she'd left the past behind when she moved into her new apartment - but sometimes, old memories have a way of catching up.
When a chance encounter with Sanders, the one person who saw her when no one else did, throws their worlds back together, she's forced to face the questions she's been avoiding for years.
Between quiet stairwell conversations and shared silences, they navigate the messy middle ground of who they were and who they've become - all while wondering if the space between them can ever truly be filled.
A story about memory, second chances, and the delicate art of learning to love the questions, even when the answers aren't clear.
We were childhood friends. Enemies by blood. Lovers by mistake.
Aiden Orion fought for me when the world carved daggers into my back.
He shattered bones, broke rules, and spilled blood - all to keep me breathing.
He touched me like I was fragile, but guarded me like I was fire.
And I stabbed him anyway.
Blade to his ribs, poison to his name.
I hated him for loving the broken girl I buried long ago.
I loved him for digging her out with bare, bloodied hands.
He swore he'd burn the world for me.
I swore I'd burn him first.
In a world stitched together by secrets, betrayal, and power -
we were a match and gasoline.
We could only end one way:
I ruin him... or he ruins me.
