   Summary

   For a year, everything remained unspoken – fleeting encounters, quiet proximity and one single moment that changed everything. Now, a new chapter begins for Lauren Fox and Simon "Ghost" Riley. They still live side by side but what was once mere neighbourliness has shifted into something unnamed – a space charged with silent pull, buried thoughts and tentative closeness. After her exhibition, Lauren finds herself suddenly in the spotlight, while Simon struggles to balance his life as a soldier with the unfamiliar intimacy of home. But closeness has a way of uncovering old patterns and a past that refuses to stay buried.

   Two people, divided by a wall — bound by everything that lingers in between.
