The Second ArrangementUpdated at Aug 20, 2026, 07:01
Mia Brooks thought leaving Callum Blackwood would give her back her life.
Being with him had once felt like stepping into a world she never truly belonged to—beautiful, overwhelming, and impossible to keep up with. So she chose herself by putting distance between them.
But starting over is never easy, even when it’s the right thing to do.
When rent starts piling up, Mia looks for a roommate just to get by. Someone who won’t disrupt the life she’s trying to rebuild. She doesn’t realize she’s chosen the one person she was trying to put behind her.
When Callum arrives as the roommate she was expecting someone else to be, Mia is caught off guard.
But the lease is signed. The money is gone. And now he’s in her space.
Mia quickly learns that living without him was hard, but living with him might be harder.
