You can't save me (Book 1)

Selah and Cameron have never been strangers.

Same spaces. Same circles.
Too many almost-conversations and lingering looks that lasted a second too long.

But almost has always been enough for her.

Because keeping things unspoken is safer.
No expectations. No risk. No chance of it falling apart.

Until something shifts.

Now he's closer.
More intentional.
Looking at her like he's done pretending this is nothing.

And suddenly, every glance feels heavier.
Every touch lingers.
Every silence says too much.

Selah doesn't know when it changed
when he stopped being familiar... and started becoming dangerous.

Because the more he sees her, the harder it is to hide.
And the closer he gets, the more she realises

This was never just friendship.

And if she lets it become something real...
she might not be able to walk away this time.

✨✨

Cameron has always noticed Selah.

Not in a loud way. Not in a way anyone could point out.
But long enough to recognize the patterns-
the way she avoids, deflects, disappears when things get too real.

He never pushed.
Never crossed the line.

Because timing matters.
And Selah has always kept one foot out the door.

But now?

Something's different.

She lingers longer.
Looks at him like she's thinking about something she won't say.
Lets moments stretch instead of cutting them short.

And Cameron's done pretending he doesn't feel it.

The tension.
The history.
All the things they never said finally catching up to them.

So this time, he doesn't step back.

He gets closer.
Says less-but means more.
Lets his presence do what words can't.

Because he knows one thing for sure

If Selah lets him in, even a little...
there's no going back to what they were.

And he's not sure she understands
just how close she is to crossing that line.
