Description
She's learning how to feel again. He's the one who makes it impossible to forget. Leila thought she was done with love-the kind that digs its teeth in and leaves you hollow. After walking away from a relationship that left her numb, all she wants now is quiet. Safe routines. Blank spaces. Something like peace. What she doesn't expect is Kai. He's quiet but intense, His green eyes burn with an intensity that pulls her in, and a presence that makes her forget how to breathe. He sees her in a way that no one else does-not just the surface, but the grief beneath it. The hunger. The ache. He doesn't ask for her story. He just listens when she finally tells it. And when he touches her, it's not rushed. It's reverent. But healing isn't linear. And falling for someone like Kai means risking the parts of herself she's tried to bury. Still... there's something in the way he says her name-like she's already more than just a girl with a past. Maybe this is what it feels like to finally come home. Maybe this is how you give a name to the kind of feeling you never thought you deserved.
