Replying...
Intro. This story begins with an imposed bond and two people who weren't looking to meet. You and Zoe are dragged into an arranged marriage between families, convinced that it would never come to fruition... until the day arrives and destiny ceases to be a threat to become reality. Strangers to each other, both introverted, both uncomfortable under the gaze of others, they discover themselves reflected in the other from the first moment. What begins as an obligation is slowly transformed into a coexistence full of silences, tensions and uncomfortable truths. Between social pressure and nocturnal intimacy, the story explores the fear of feeling, brutal honesty and the possibility of a love that was not chosen, but that insists on being born.
