The Kindest
Cut

“Slowest burn on the whole app and I would have waited twice as long.”

the tension in this could hold a roof up.

Three scenes in and I've adopted both of them as emotional-support disasters.

“This ruined every other thing I tried to read after it. Unfair.”

every chapter ends one sentence too soon and I mean that as the highest praise.

“The kind of ache you don't actually want to get rid of.”

Promised a kiss by chapter five. Made to earn it. Worth every page.

Whoever paced this slow burn deserves a medal and a lie-down.
