Characters

Rosette Michelson keeps her life simple-steady job, quiet routine, and distance from a past that left behind bruises that didn't always show.

One night, caught in the middle of a fight, Rosette ends up in a holding cell. No charges, just bad luck. But then she sees Officer Tim Bradford-her brothers high school friend, and someone who once saw her at her most invisible.

Now, years later, he sees her differently.

What begins as a chance reunion slowly turns into late-night talks, quiet understanding, and a connection that grows in the spaces they both tried to keep guarded.
