Rythem & Ryme

Standing in a laundromat at 2 AM with everything she owns in a trash bag, Rythem knows rescue is a myth; only survival is real. She's lived a lifetime of temporary addresses, from foster homes to the streets, always with one eye open. But then she meets Ryme, a woman who mirrors her own guarded existence, offering not pity, but half a sandwich and a dangerous spark of connection. Both have built walls against a world that taught them not to trust, not to need, and certainly not to love. Now, as rain pours down, forcing a choice, Rythem must decide if the risk of breaking her own rules is worth the promise of finding a home in another lost soul. Can two women, hardened by a system that stole their childhoods, learn to survive love together when they've only ever known how to survive alone?
