Soft Boundaries
Vivienne Blackwood is a thirty-four, a seasoned therapist in a quiet corner of London, known among colleagues for her composure and precision. Her office, filled with worn books, calming scents, and muted tones, is a sanctuary for those seeking healing. Yet, beneath the calm surface, Vivienne hides her own fractures, a dissolved engagement, a strained relationship with her mother and a creeping sense of emotional isolation. Nova Sullivan is twenty-one, an art student who hides behind humour and vibrant scarves. She enters therapy reluctantly, encouraged by a friend after her anxiety and panic attacks grow too heavy to manage alone. Outspoken but fragile, Nova wears her emotions openly, the opposite of Vivienne's pristine restraint. When their sessions begin, Vivienne sees Nova as yet another complex case. However, as weeks stretch into months, their conversations start to touch something deeper, curiosity, understanding, and a wounded recognition they share. Vivienne finds herself seeing the world anew through Nova's passion and raw honesty. Nova, in turn, feels seen for the first time by someone who listens without judgement. But desire is dangerous in the therapy room. As the line between care and connection blurs, both women must choose between professional integrity and the undeniable pull of something real. When Vivienne ends their professional relationship to preserve her ethics, their story doesn't end, it transforms.
