Healing isn't about learning not to fall - it's about discovering who is there to catch you.
Fragile, guarded, and convinced that her brightest days are behind her, Hazel isn't interested in making friends or opening up. Healing feels impossible, and the non-linear road to recovery is far more painful than she ever anticipated.
Enter Luke - a fellow resident who sees right through Hazel's carefully constructed defences. Quietly persistent and effortlessly understanding, Luke doesn't offer quick fixes or empty promises. Instead, he offers a safe space, gentle laughter, and a reminder of what it feels like to be seen.
As the days turn into weeks, Hazel begins to navigate the fragile, messy process of putting her life back together. But taking a chance on Luke means risking her guarded heart all over again. In a place built on second chances, Hazel must discover if she has the courage to forgive herself, trust someone new, and catch the light before it slips away completely.
