The funny thing about death is that life keeps going...whether you want it to or not.
Selena has had her fill of loss. She keeps everyone at arm's length, determined to survive without getting attached. Quill, the Facility's manager, has somehow managed to retain his cheery optimism, but he's had enough heartbreak for one lifetime.
A single impulsive lie brings them together, and leads to a fake relationship that seems like the perfect solution to unwanted attention. No expectations. No real feelings. Just a convenient fiction.
Until it isn't.
Selena and Quill must navigate grief, healing, and the terrifying possibility of hope. This is a cozy post-apocalyptic slow-burn romance about love after loss, finding community, and choosing to embrace life after the worst has happened.
