Summary
Rue has been sober for two hundred and thirty-seven days. Maddy has been in therapy for four months. On paper, they're doing everything right — meetings, check-ins, communication, trust. But when Maddy's parents announce they're selling the house — the house where she and Rue built everything — something cracks in both of them. For Maddy, it's the loss of the only safe space she's ever known. For Rue, it's the terror of what comes next: living together, for real, with no backup plan and no escape route. A chapter about home — what it means, how you build it, and what happens when the ground shifts beneath your feet. Features heavy emotional conversations, explicit comfort sex, and two traumatized girls learning that home isn't a place. It's a person.
