Where You Always Are

At college, coincidence is easy to believe in.
Elara Vale does.

She notices patterns others ignore. The way certain faces reappear. The way paths cross too often to be accidental. When Rowan Ashford becomes a constant presence in her life, she tells herself it's curiosity, nothing more. Watching is harmless. Paying attention is normal.

Rowan notices her long before she notices him.

What begins as silent observation turns into something darker. Schedules align. Encounters feel inevitable. The line between chance and intention blurs as Elara quietly inserts herself into Rowan's world, convinced she is the one in control.

She isn't.

As tension tightens and paranoia sets in, the truth emerges piece by piece. They are not circling each other by accident. They are mirrors. Two people drawn together by the same dangerous impulse. To see. To be seen. To claim without asking.

When their secrets finally collide, Elara and Rowan must decide whether obsession is something to escape... or something to choose.

Where You Always Are is a dark romance that explores fixation, power, and intimacy at its most unsettling. This is not a story about being saved.
It's a story about finding someone who watches you back and staying anyway.
