29 parts Complete [COMPLETE] CALIBRATED DISTANCE
Book 1 of "The Ones Who Were Watched" series
Calibrated Distance isn't a love story dressed up as dystopia. It's a surveillance log of the unseen. A memory file buried in silence. A slow, aching trace of what it means to be watched... and still choose to feel.
Mira and Gael aren't chasing fate. They're carrying ghosts. They glitch through memory, speak in half-truths, and love like it's a crime - quiet, calculated, and devastatingly human.
This isn't about enemies-to-lovers. There are no cliché rescues. No loud confessions or perfect endings. Just two people tethered by the data that tried to erase them... and the one decision that rewrote their future: To remember.
Calibrated Distance rewires the trope:
No hero. No happily-ever-after. Just resilience in the face of erasure. Grief that doesn't ask for permission. And love that survives even the worst kind of surveillance - the one we do to ourselves.
This isn't about being seen. It's about seeing yourself again - after the system said you shouldn't exist.
