I never thought I was capable of wanting someone… until Miles made me want it all.

Few things in my life give me joy—my job, my friends, and my three-legged cat named Clematis. They are anchors in my dark mind, something I rely on to keep me from drifting into hopelessness.

After bringing some new plants home, I ask in an online forum if they’re safe for my furbaby. Right away, an unexpected friendship blooms with one of the responders. Miles knocks me off my feet and steadies me at the same time. Our easy conversations are a life raft when all I’ve known is drowning. Miles doesn’t just understand my lows—he soothes them. He makes me feel safe, seen, and alive for the first time ever. His warm, constant presence is everything I’ve needed.

The only problem is, he’s hundreds of miles away.

The closer we become, the more I want to be with him. To hold him. Kiss him. Share all the things I never thought was possible for someone like me. But stepping out of my routine could easily send me spiraling back into that horrible place, and I’m not sure I’ll survive that again. No one knows how truly close to the edge I was—not even my best friends.

Will loving Miles be the thing that breaks me… or will accepting his love be my ultimate breakthrough?
