Downloading When She Saw Me

Some people read to disappear.

But what if they both just want to be found?

Elara isn’t trying to be seen.

p>She’s trying to survive college one quiet day at a time—with oversized hoodies, books no one else borrows, and a heart full of poetry she never lets anyone read. Softness, she’s learned, can be dangerous. Especially when the world doesn’t know what to do with girls like her.

And then there’s Tessa.

Track star. Loud laugh. Unapologetically bright. She moves through the world like she belongs in every room—until she slows down just long enough to see Elara. Really see her.

What begins with a scraped knee and an awkward coffee grows into late-night texts, shared waffles, a dying plant named Bob, and the quiet ache of two people learning how to stay. But falling in love when you’ve spent your whole life trying to disappear isn’t easy. Especially when the world—and your own fears—are louder than your heart.
