The Way You Almost Love Me

Xandria had everything under control.
No love.
No expectations.
No heartbreak.
Just work. Home. Responsibility.
Simple. Safe.
Because she learned the hard way-
love doesn't stay.
Until him.
He doesn't try.
He doesn't say much.
But somehow... he becomes impossible to ignore.
In quiet moments, in passing glances-
he slowly finds his way into her world.
And into her heart.
This wasn't supposed to mean anything.
So why does it feel like it does?
And when everything falls apart-
will she regret letting him in...
or regret that she didn't stop herself sooner?
