Some people save lives for a living. Some people teach kids to believe in hope. But what happens when the person who saves everyone can't save herself? Samar Singh thinks kindness can fix anything. Mei Chen knows better—she's spent years watching people she cares about disappear. They meet during chaos. A student who can't breathe. An ambulance. A moment that changes everything. He keeps showing up. She keeps pushing him away. He falls in love. She learns to run faster. But when caring too much nearly destroys them both, they're forced to answer the question neither wants to face: Is love about holding on—or knowing when to let go? Samar believes people are worth fighting for. Mei believes everyone leaves eventually. They're both right. They're both wrong. And somewhere between coffee that goes cold and late-night phone calls and the terrifying moment when someone finally stays—they'll discover that the steadiest kind of love isn't the one that never breaks. It's the one that breaks you open. A story about two people learning that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let someone see you fall apart.
