When the House Is Still
At thirty-eight, Audrey has built a life around structure, solitude, and routine. She is successful, disciplined, and content to keep the world at a careful distance until the sudden loss of her dog shatters the quiet balance she depends on.
In the aftermath of grief, Audrey crosses paths with Michelle, a divorced middle-school teacher juggling work, shared custody of her teenage son, and the emotional residue of a marriage that didn't end cleanly. What begins as a moment of unexpected kindness turns into a connection neither woman planned for.
Audrey is awkward, guarded, and long out of practice when it comes to intimacy. Michelle is patient, observant, and careful not to push. As they move slowly toward something real, they must navigate grief, family boundaries, professional pressure, and the risk that comes with letting another person matter.
When old loyalties and unresolved truths surface, Audrey and Michelle are forced to decide whether love is worth the disruption it brings.
When the House Is Still is a slow-burn lesbian romance about grief, healing, and finding connection later in life, quiet, emotionally honest, and deeply human.
