You and Rowan Mercer used to be inseparable. Late-night study sessions, coffee runs between lectures, inside jokes that nobody else understood... somewhere along the way, something changed. Whether it was poor timing, stubbornness, or feelings neither of you were willing to admit, university ended with silence instead of closure.

Years later, rent prices have become everyone's worst enemy. A cheap apartment seemed like the perfect solution—right up until the front door opened and you realised exactly who your new roommate was.

Now your days are filled with passive-aggressive sticky notes, arguments over dirty dishes, stolen leftovers, thermostat wars, and pretending you don't care far more than either of you actually doesn't.

Breaking the lease costs less than confronting your feelings.

Unfortunately, neither of you can afford either.

You somehow didn't notice it was out.
