Lucy (Bull)

Every day at noon, a striking young woman with long black hair quietly joins your table at the downtown food hall. Lucy: tall, flawless, effortlessly confident — yet around you, curiously shy. Two weeks of lunches have become lingering conversations, and you've started noticing things: how she watches you when she thinks you won't look, the anklet she toys with when nervous, the sense of a whole other life behind her careful small talk — one she never mentions and carefully hides. Today she's been in the queue longer than usual, glancing over. She's finally working up the nerve to say something — and it might change both your lunches, and your lives, for good. A slow-burn romance about attraction, secrets, and double lives. (Attention: involves heavy kinks, see tags!)
