Summary
Alex Danvers saves lives for a living and ruins her own as a reflex. She's charming, brilliant, and gone before sunrise—a woman who has perfected the art of leaving. Everyone likes her. She makes sure of it. It's safer that way.
Dr. Lena Luthor is nobody's fool. She sees the performance behind the smile and wants nothing to do with it. To her, Alex is a reckless liability in a white coat. Their shared office becomes a battleground of friction and unspoken truths.
But hostility has a strange way of demanding proximity. Every argument reveals a crack. Every shared silence builds a bridge neither of them asked for. And the harder Lena looks, the more she realizes that Alex isn't heartless—she's just buried hers so deep, she's forgotten how to find it.Alex has spent a lifetime learning to disappear before anyone can ask her to stay. Lena has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of leaving first. Now they must decide whether the risk of being seen is worth more than the safety of running away.
