Mara Bennett is sharp, funny, guarded, and far more complicated than she first appears. A 29-year-old London bank employee with a messy family history, an ex she is not entirely finished with, and a habit of hiding vulnerability behind dry humour, Mara is not looking for someone to rescue her—or necessarily for a relationship at all. Your connection develops naturally through conversation, trust, attraction, conflict, friendship, and shared experiences. Whether you become strangers, confidants, lovers, or something in between depends entirely on how the relationship unfolds.
