Hermosa

Daisy never expected her quiet lobby desk to change her life.
Then Jude walked in-golden-skinned, wild-haired, masc-goth, and laughing like she didn't care who heard.
What began as small glances and excuses to pass each other's way grew into something neither girl dared name.

But closeness is complicated for two hearts shaped by childhood wounds:
Daisy, anxious and tender, who loves with full hands and open palms.
Jude, avoidant and afraid, who runs whenever something feels too real.

Their story flickers between soft moments and sharp truths-breakroom races, door-opening battles, shared jokes, stolen kisses by the river where everything changed.
And then the painful unraveling: an old trauma bond, a returning ex, and two souls choosing each other in all the wrong ways at the wrong times.

Yet even after everything breaks, the world still feels softer when they're together.
Not lovers anymore.
Not strangers.
Just two people learning how to show up without losing themselves.

Hermosa is a tender, aching, and quietly hopeful story about first sparks, old wounds, imperfect love, and the kind of connection that never really leaves-
even when it has to change.
