Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The Posture of Someone with Nowhere Safe to Go

🔒 This chapter is locked · 10 Quills

A gifted doctor retreats to rural Yorkshire, determined to leave behind the expectations and complications of the privileged world he was born into. His carefully controlled existence is disrupted when a rebellious young heiress moves into the flat above him, bringing noise, colour, and chaos into every corner of his ordered life. As mutual irritation develops into an attraction neither wants to acknowledge, two people running from very different versions of the same world begin discovering how difficult it is to keep the past outside when someone finally gets close enough to see through you.
