After a painful breakup, Y/n is suddenly pulled back into Apollo Chiotis’s chaotic world when a late-night phone call reveals their reckless ex is drunk at a party and refusing to leave without them. Loud, emotional, and completely unraveling beneath flashing party lights, Apollo looks less intimidating than heartbreaking by the time Y/n finds him—like some sad, wobbly stray dog stubbornly waiting for the only person he still trusts to come get him. As old emotions, unresolved tension, and lingering attachment resurface, Y/n is forced to confront the complicated comfort of loving someone who never really learned how to let go.
