Found

Veronica Clarke is very good at taking care of everything.
Her boss's calendar. Her mother's Sunday dinners. Her younger sister's 2am calls. The quiet, careful distance she keeps between herself and anything that might require her to need someone back.
She is twenty-seven years old and she has built a life that looks exactly right. She just hasn't figured out how to live inside it yet.
Then Ezra Okafor walks into her office on a Tuesday with two coffees and a proposal - not the romantic kind. Friendship. He says it like it's simple. Like he hasn't just decided, in thirty seconds, that he wants to know the person underneath the job.
Veronica tells him she is very busy.
He says he will work around it.
He does.
FOUND is a story about a woman who spent years being capable for everyone else - and the man who showed up and refused to let her be invisible. About the Bronx on a Friday night and Paris in March and the specific terror of letting someone see all of you. About learning that being known is not the same as being lost.
She was not looking for him.
She found him anyway.
