Zara joined the peer counselor training program to help others heal from the pain she hides so well. Ari was forced into it by his therapist~~another thing he resents about the world. She's the quiet storm who believes in meaning; he's the sarcastic mess who believes in nothing. They clash from the start, their arguments as sharp as the secrets they both refuse to share.
But behind the tension lies something unspoken. Shared pain. Shared survival.
When they're forced to partner in the program, their fake exercise begin to hit too close to real. Slowly, behind every insult and every tare. their broken pieces start to recognize each other.
This isn't a love story about being saved. It's about two people who never meant to fall for each other~~but somehow, accidentally, dared to heal.
