Where the City Found Us
When Ammeka leaves behind her art studio and chaotic past for a sleek new tech job in a new city, she expects structure, and maybe a chance to breathe again. What she doesn't expect is Carmen-a stunning, eerily composed stranger with a British accent, and an uncanny ability to show up everywhere.
From electronics aisles to produce sections to jazz bars, Carmen keeps appearing like some sort of cosmically appointed glitch in Ammeka's algorithm. And while Ammeka's carefully built walls are meant to keep the world out, Carmen's compliments start hitting places no one's touched in years.
Is it fate? Coincidence? Or something neither of them is ready to name?
A slow-burn urban romance full of quiet tension, accidental run-ins, and the kind of compliments that feel like healing.
