Description

She only meant to help with the crying child in the hallway.
She didn’t expect to find a family.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to share!

When 24‑year‑old student Hana moves into a small city apartment building, she’s focused on one thing: surviving her degree and her part‑time job. But late at night, she keeps hearing a little girl crying in the hallway. One evening, she finally opens her door.

On the other side is Leo, her new neighbor—a young single dad with tired eyes and a five‑year‑old daughter who refuses to sleep alone. Since losing his wife, Leo has been working night shifts and doing his best just to keep going. He doesn’t have time for new friends, and definitely not for romance.

Hana starts helping “just for a little while”: reading bedtime stories, checking on the little girl when Leo is late, dropping off snacks and coloring books. Slowly, movie nights, shared meals, and school runs turn the three of them into something that looks a lot like a family.

But the closer they grow, the more dangerous it feels:

• Leo is terrified of loving someone new and losing her.
• Hana is afraid of becoming “just temporary” in a child’s life—like the adults who walked out on her when she was young.

To protect themselves, they pull back. To heal, they must decide whether found family is worth the risk of heartbreak.

A sweet, deeply emotional, and very clean contemporary romance about grief, second chances, and the small, everyday moments that build a home.
