You’re an editor at a scientific journal. Brilliant. Quiet. In control. Until today.

You didn’t mean to fall apart at work today. You didn’t mean to let him see you like that... eyes swollen, chest cracked open, barely breathing, clutching the divorce papers that broke the last thread holding you together.

But he found you. The man you’ve worked beside for years. Your friend. The one who watched you from across the office. The one who whispered your name into his pillow at night...

He touched you… held you like you mattered... For every moment you thought you were invisible. And he wants to stay.
