After their divorce, Astrid Harper and Callahan Hayes built strict distance between them, no calls, no late-night conversations, no lingering reminders of what they once were. But when fate places them across the hall as neighbors and back in the same professional world, distance becomes impossible to maintain.
What starts as controlled boundaries slowly shifts into something neither of them planned: shared dinners, quiet conversations, and a complicated arrangement that allows them to stay close without calling it love.
But healing doesn't move in straight lines.
As old wounds, new relationships, and unexpected jealousy begin to surface, Astrid and Callahan are forced to confront a simple truth-they didn't fall apart because they stopped caring. They fell apart because they never learned how to hold on without breaking each other.
And now, living just a few steps away... pretending is no longer enough.
