glass half-empty - daniela avanzini x femOC

IN WHICH daniela has finally found a version of life that feels steady, her career growing, her relationship calm, everything falling into place the way she always wanted. she doesn't question it. she doesn't look too closely. because as long as april is still there beside her, still smiling, still saying she's okay, there's no reason to believe anything is wrong.

IN WHICH april is learning how to exist in a life that looks stable from the outside, her days filled with quiet routines, half-finished projects, and conversations she never fully participates in. she says she's fine like it's second nature, lets people believe she's getting better, even as the weight never really leaves. because healing was never the point, surviving was.
