Forced into five weeks of proximity with my best friend was never supposed to feel like this.
He’s off-limits, impossible, too familiar—and he’s looking at me like I’m something he won’t let anyone else touch.
I am Nadia Flores: certified expert at missing the obvious, especially when it’s Daniel Cross.
I came to Rosewood Estate with a carry-on and one non-negotiable rule: no one gets close enough to own the story. But the assignment puts us in each other’s orbit from dawn briefings to midnight in the library, our lives compressed into shared spaces no one else belongs in.
He reads my drafts on the floor, sees what I can’t articulate, and says my name like it means something only he can claim.
It should be easy to keep him at arm’s length. But the way Daniel listens—quiet, total, a gravity so precise even the staff notice—makes staying neutral impossible.
If I let him in, the whole world will see what I’ve fought to keep protected. And if I don’t? Maybe the person I lose isn’t him—it’s the self I finally let someone want.
