Krys lives by a simple, self-preserving code: charm, conquer, and never, ever get close. A master of the fleeting connection, she glides through a series of romantic encounters with emotional detachment as her shield. Her number one rule? No meeting the friends. Friends mean investment, context, and the terrifying specter of a real relationship.

Her carefully curated world is upended when she meets Felicia, a woman whose wit and beauty is matched only by her disarming sincerity. For the first time, Krys is genuinely captivated. Just as they are on the verge of intimacy, Felicia makes a gentle but firm request: before they take things further, she’d like Krys to meet her closest friends.

The proposition sends Krys into a tailspin. To agree is to dismantle the very walls that have kept her safe from heartbreak. It’s a direct violation of her entire emotional playbook. But to refuse is to lose Felicia, the first person who has made her consider wanting more.
