This story follows me—Remy Fernández—through a life shaped by silence, survival, and the fear of being forgotten. Childhood neglect taught me to hide my pain, swallow my emotions, and never ask for love. Then I meet Dominic, and everything I’ve kept contained begins spilling over. He is magnetic, impossibly handsome, tall, lean, and muscular, and a rising star in music—but he’s also self-destructive and addicted to substances that threaten to consume him. Our love is immediate, intense, and consuming—but also volatile and toxic. His addiction triggers my fear of abandonment, my silence triggers his frustration, creating a constant push-and-pull we don’t know how to navigate.
