Alex has eight remote jobs, his own apartment, and one rule that keeps his life perfectly uncomplicated: no girlfriends. Then he meets Lena, a sharp-tongued cosplayer with six hundred thousand followers and a talent for making temporary things feel dangerously permanent. What begins as flirting without promises soon becomes shared mornings, familiar routines, and feelings neither of them agreed to have, forcing Alex to decide whether protecting his heart is worth losing the one person who might finally deserve it.
