    Summary

    Sixty-seven days clean, and Rue Bennett’s first real test is a graduation party she only agreed to because Lexi asked and nobody says no to Lexi.

    She wasn’t expecting Maddy Perez.

    She wasn’t expecting a lot of things — the way a drink spilled between them could turn into thirty minutes against a wall, or the way Maddy looks when she thinks nobody’s watching, or the specific feeling of standing next to someone who’s also in the middle of rebuilding something and not quite ready to name what they’re building.

    This is a story about two girls who never really knew each other learning how to know themselves first. About recovery that isn’t linear and healing that doesn’t announce itself. About the slow, inconvenient, slightly terrifying thing that happens when someone sees you — actually sees you — right when you’re figuring out who you are.

    It takes a while. It’s worth it.

    Summary

    Shane has everything he could ever ask for. A loving family. A devoted husband. The life he'd always dreamed of.

    So why does it feel like his chest is caving in when his mom calls Ilya her favourite?

    Summary

    Shane's bottom lip trembles ever so slightly, voice brittle. "I can't breathe."

    Ilya's heart breaks at his plead. No matter how much it hurt when Shane left or when Ilya saw him with Rose, seeing Shane like this, tears in his eyes, voice cracking, none of it seems to matter.

    "Yes, you can." Ilya's words are steady and sure. He slides one of his hands down to Shane's chest, pressing his palm to his sternum. "Focus on me."

    Or: Shane has a couple of panic attacks (tuna melt and Montreal club) and Ilya helps him through them.

    Summary

    She swallows hard, not even realizing where she is until Maddy’s surprised yelp sounds way closer than it should.

    “Rue, what the hell are you doing? Why are you outside my window at—” She looks at the clock on her vanity— “2:30 AM?”

    Maddy has a polka-dot robe on now, clutching the two sides closed to keep out the chilly night air.

    Rue has stepped onto Maddy’s lawn. In front of Maddy’s window. Where Maddy can definitely see her.

    Stupid.

    “Uh—” she starts, scrambling, “Fuck, I didn't—I mean, it wasn't—”

    Rue’s hands move in useless little gestures, like that might somehow explain things. Maddy just watches her, arms crossed, her mouth shaped suspiciously like a smile. She cuts Rue off before she can dig herself any deeper.

    “Rue.”

    “Yeah?”

    “Do you need a place to crash tonight?”

    When Rue accidentally ends up at Maddy’s house, comfort shows up wearing someone else’s perfume, and Rue pretends that doesn’t mean anything.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander doesn’t do cheat days.
    Not with his training. Not with his diet. Not with his life.
    Then a ridiculously attractive Russian-Italian chef in Milano force-feeds him the best ravioli he’s ever had and calls him a good boy and things spiral from there.
    Between Olympic pressure, impossible expectations, and a connection neither of them is ready to name, Shane finds himself unraveling in ways he doesn’t understand.
