welfare check | lara raj x y/n

[G X G]

she's not supposed to fall for a client.
she's definitely not supposed to fall for lara raj.

y/n runs client welfare for the industry's biggest names. the quiet architecture behind the chaos. crowd safety, stress mitigation, the parts nobody sees. distance first, always. that's the rule.

then katseye walks in.

lara doesn't just walk into a room, she stays there. in every handshake that lasts a second too long, every saturday that starts as a coincidence and stops being one, every line y/n swore she'd never cross.

what starts as coffee and bookstores turns into something neither of them planned for. but y/n has spent three years building a door and calling it professionalism, and some doors don't open without something breaking first.
a slow burn about the difference between being watched and being seen, and what it costs to finally let someone in.

book one of a trilogy.
