To Leith Dyer, life is best kept in lists, edits, and carefully placed boundaries. As a columnist at Marigold, she's built a career out of writing low-stakes lifestyle pieces while quietly keeping her own awkward, clumsy life safely out of reach. Her new assignment changes that: nine first dates, documented in real time for one of the most-read features on the site. According to her boss Irene, finally something with stakes. Leith agrees to the experiment with one rule: she only goes on the dates as research. But in a workplace where everything becomes content and every connection has an audience, even distance is hard to maintain. Especially when Callum, her boss's quietly indispensable cousin, keeps showing up in the margins, becoming the one variable she never agreed to include. As the nine dates unfold, Leith starts noticing a pattern she can't edit out: the more she writes about connection, the less certain she is about the version she's performing and the one she actually wants. And when readers begin to notice Callum too, turning him into a story of their own, the line between author and subject begins to blur in ways she can't control. A contemporary workplace romance about visibility, authorship, and the uncomfortable truth that some stories don't stay within the boundaries you set for them. New chapters every monday and tuesday!

My Sydney experience

There's this girl. She never smiled. She never laughed. She had beautiful big, round eyes, but they were empty as can be. They held no spark nor warmth. They would stare into your own like they could see the deepest parts of your soul. She has never shown any emotion. She treated everything and everyone with indifference. She was the talk of the town since she was a little girl. They say she's seen things nobody has ever seen before and it left her so scarred she became hollow, a shell of a person. Their stories always came with a warning: Stay away from the girl with the cold, dead eyes. She's no good for you. She will only bring you trouble, was what they would say. But one day, I saw her smile. Even if it was close to a smirk, it was the first expression I've seen cross her face. It was engraved in my mind and I wanted to see more of that. I wanted to see her smile a full blown smile and I wanted to be the one to do that. I wanted to reach into the hole she dug herself in and wrench her out into the light. I wanted to save her.
