I wasn’t looking for love—just a fresh start. A quiet life. A place to finally breathe again. But then I meet him. Camden is everything I shouldn’t want—stoic, serious, and far too intense.

It unpacks the quiet grief of being too visible, too desired, too misunderstood—and turns it into power. These words don’t beg to be liked; they dare to be felt.
