y/n mom is dead, and she hasn’t told anyone. She’s slipping at work, and Alex Cabot is tearing into her for every misstep, cold, precise, unforgiving. Alex sees only carelessness. Lila sees no way out. The tension between them burns too bright to ignore, but neither knows the other is hurting just as badly. Grief, silence, and the slow, terrifying realization that the person you’ve been fighting might be the only one who can save you.
