When a devastating late-night phone call pulls Penelope's best friend across the country, everything shifts between them in ways neither could have anticipated. She's always been the one constant in Penelope's life—the shoulder to cry on, the steady presence—but hiding an ache that runs bone-deep has become unbearable. Now, with Penelope broken and vulnerable, there's a chance to be what she needs most, but stepping into that role means risking the friendship that means everything and the heart she's guarded so carefully. This tender sapphic novella explores the beautiful, terrifying line between devotion and desire, and what it means to finally let someone see all of you.
