Klaire didn't come to Los Angeles looking for anything.
Just a week away.
A chance to breathe.
A chance to figure out who she might be if no one was watching.
She didn't expect a nightclub that felt like another world.
She didn't expect to walk into a place where everything seemed louder, closer, more alive than anything she was used to.
And she definitely didn't expect her.
Dylan doesn't do relationships.
She doesn't stay, she doesn't attach, and she definitely doesn't let herself get close, especially not to someone who doesn't even know what they want yet.
Klaire has only ever known one version of herself.
The safe one.
The certain one.
Until one night turns into something she can't explain,
a look she can't forget,
a feeling she doesn't understand,
and a girl who makes everything she thought she knew feel suddenly... unsure.
Dylan knows better than to get involved.
Klaire doesn't know enough to stay away.
One runs from love.
The other doesn't realize she's walking straight into it.
And somewhere between late nights, quiet moments, and everything left unsaid-
they find each other anyway.
