He’s been in love with his best friend for eleven years and somehow hasn’t noticed. Since they were teenagers, {Y/N} has been his cure for sleepless nights. One cuddle, a few fingers through his hair, and the man is unconscious. Unfortunately, while she’s been falling hopelessly in love, James has been falling into other women’s beds. And afterward? “Bug? Can’t sleep. Come over, baby?” And she always does. Until one day, she doesn’t. No more midnight cuddles. No more whispered goodnights. No more loving a man who only knows how to need her. She leaves. And James? Oh, that beautiful, emotionally constipated idiot is about to experience the consequences of his own stupidity. Suddenly, he’s crying into her pillow, begging through unanswered voicemails, and discovering that eleven years of insomnia were absolutely nothing compared to losing the woman he never realized he loved. Because now he doesn’t just want to sleep. He wants his angel. His bug. His baby. And for the first time in his life, James is willing to stay awake all night if it means earning another chance to love her. A heartbreakingly beautiful romance about loving too quietly, realizing too late, and discovering that sometimes the cruelest thing about love is what happens… 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔..~
