Temi has spent her whole life trying to be enough.
Enough for her mother.
Enough for expectations she never fully understands.
Enough to avoid hearing the words she fears most... "I'm disappointed in you."
No matter how hard she tries, it never feels like it's enough.
So she learns to stay quiet.
To shrink herself.
To survive love that always feels conditional.
Until a stranger enters her life through simple messages.
Camden doesn't try to fix her.
He just listens.
And somehow, that changes everything Temi thought she knew about herself, her pain, and what it means to be seen.
But healing is never simple...
Especially when the hardest battles are the ones fought at home.
And some words stay longer than they should.

At first I was relieved and kinda confused but then I saw something. I widened my eyes in realization and wanted to grasp it out of his hands, but he used his length in his advantage and kept me away from it. My freaking phone. He typed something and gave me back my phone as soon as he was finished. "There you go! Now I've called my phone from yours, so I have your number, plus, you'll have mine. I fully expect you to call me or I'll call you and forcefully take you out. I love both options so do whatever you want." I frowned taking my phone from his hands. This can't be really happening...
