Almost Close Enough

Zendaya has always lived five feet apart from the world. Every breath is a battle, every touch a risk, and every heartbeat a reminder that life is fragile. Her world is hospital walls, oxygen tanks, and prayers whispered into the sterile air.

Then comes Kai-reckless, magnetic, untamed. He hides pain behind sharp jokes and dangerous charm, but even he can't resist the girl who refuses to let go of hope.

There's one rule. One simple, impossible rule: stay five feet apart. No touch. No closeness. No love. But the heart doesn't follow rules. And theirs... is screaming.

Every glance. Every laugh. Every shared moment inches them closer to disaster. Closer to love. Closer to breaking every rule they've been told will keep them alive.

This is a story of faith tested by heartbreak. Of forbidden closeness that could kill-or save. Of love that's almost... almost close enough to hold.
