Synopsis
Zuri wasn’t looking for love. Not at eighteen. Not in her first year of law school. And definitely not with the quiet man reading The Art of War at a café. She wanted silence. Control. A life small enough to carry her grief quietly. After losing her mother to betrayal and tragedy, Zuri has learned to keep her world contained—her thoughts, her fears, even the emails she still writes to a mother who’s no longer alive.Then came Haim.He’s not loud. Not demanding. Just present. Steady. A lecturer who also owns a stationery shop and sees the world through sketches. And when Zuri sees him again—standing at the front of her classroom—something shifts.She tries to stay guarded. He doesn’t try to tear down her walls. He just waits outside them. Slowly, gently, Zuri begins to let him in. Through long walks. Art. Laughter. Trust. And when their love crosses the line into something more, Haim steps away from the title of professor but not from her. Because Zuri was never just a student. She was learning how to live again.

Chapter 1 - Journal Entry — Found in the Front Pocket of the Story

Hey,

 

Before you meet my Romeo—

 

Meet me.

 

I know this is promising a good person.

But I've learned that good doesn't always arrive gently.

 

So if you're here expecting a love story,

You should know something first:

 

I was still learning how to show up.

Still trying to remember what softness felt like.

Still figuring out how not to run—

When someone tried to stay.

 

So before the romance—

Before the names and the chapters and the moments—

Before you hold the new me and my Romeo in your hands…

You'll first meet the broken me.
