Still Here, Still Single

At thirty, June Callahan thought she’d have it all figured out—love, career, a well-styled apartment with good lighting. Instead, she’s single, working at a struggling indie bookstore in Boston, and babysitting her friends’ kids while they live the lives she thought she’d have by now. When yet another friend gets engaged and hands June a bouquet like a consolation prize, she signs up—half-jokingly—for a local “Slow Love Challenge,” a month-long experiment in building romantic connection through vulnerability, honesty, and face-to-face conversation. No apps. No ghosting. No shortcuts. What she doesn’t expect is Alec Byrne, her assigned partner. Brooding, tattooed, and recently divorced, Alec is a quiet furniture maker who would rather sand tables than talk about his feelings. But as the weeks unfold—with emotionally intimate prompts, awkward coffee dates, and slow-burning glances—June begins to feel something she hasn’t in a long time: hope. But hope is dangerous. Especially when you’re used to waiting for the other shoe—or the other person—to drop. Set against the backdrop of cozy Boston neighborhoods, midnight walks over cobblestones, and a tiny North End coffee shop where hearts are laid bare, Still Here, Still Single is a story about what happens when you stop running toward the future, and start noticing the present.
