Summary
Carla walks into therapy carrying the weight of loneliness and loss, expecting little more than polite advice. Lisa, her therapist finds herself connecting to Carla inside the therapy room.
Neither knows it yet, but their connection doesn’t stay confined to the therapy room. An anonymous, outside line of communication begins—confessions, late-night thoughts, words typed in the dark. They don’t realize they’re speaking to each other, not at first. And when Lisa figures it out, she’s faced with a choice: reveal the truth and risk everything, or keep the secret while their bond grows in dangerous, passionate ways.
This is a slow-burn story about vulnerability, attraction, and the blurred lines between healing and desire—where the tension lingers.
