“He came back from the dead on a Tuesday and had the audacity to look better than ever.” Yewande has spent three years rebuilding herself after Marcus disappeared without a word, no goodbye, no body, no closure. She poured the grief into a career, a new city, and a carefully constructed rule: never let anyone close enough to destroy you twice. Then Korede walks back into her life, older, scarred, and carrying secrets so dangerous that his disappearance was the only way to keep her alive. He's not asking for forgiveness. He doesn't expect it. He just needs sixty days to dismantle the criminal network that forced him away. Sixty days. Same apartment. Opposite sides of a wall so thin she can hear him breathe at night
