One is built to take hits. The other is a wrong step away from breaking.
Neither of them were supposed to fall.
Rafe
In the ring, I don’t hesitate. I don’t miss. And I sure as hell don’t lose.
It’s the only thing I’ve ever been good at.
Then I meet Elliot.
He’s too soft for my world. Too breakable.
A dancer with an injury that should’ve ended him, but a stubborn streak that won’t let it.
He looks at me like I’m more than what I do.
I should walk away.
Instead, I let him close.
And when I’m told to take the fall—to throw the fight that defines my career—walking away might cost me more than losing ever could.
Elliot
I’ve spent my whole life chasing perfection. Balance. Control.
Now one injury is threatening to take it all away.
Then there’s Rafe.
He’s built like he was made to destroy things. Quiet. Intense.
But he’s careful with me. Gentle in ways no one expects.
When he touches me, I don’t feel fragile—I feel… steady.
I know he’s keeping something from me.
But I didn’t fight this hard to survive just to walk away from the one person who makes me feel whole.
Even if loving him means watching him fall.
