Casey Hunter has always fallen for the loud kind of love. The kind that crashes in, consumes everything, and leaves her picking up the pieces after. She tells herself she doesn't need anything else. She tells herself she's fine.

Then a girl with quiet eyes and a voice that feels like 2am walks into her life and doesn't try to set it on fire.

She lingers.
She listens.
She stays.

And suddenly Casey's noticing the way her heart stutters in the smallest moments, shared glances, brushed fingers, laughter that lasts a beat too long. The kind of tension that doesn't explode... it simmers.

Falling was never the scary part.
Falling without self-destructing might be.
