Ivy & Chris
Some choices take you further than you thought — at a cost.
Ivy is composed, intelligent, and always three steps ahead. She builds her world with intention — and protects it even more carefully.
When Chris enters her life — polished, attentive, seemingly perfect — Ivy begins to let someone in for the first time. But attention isn't the same as safety. And some doors, once opened, are hard to close.
"Control disguised as care is still control."
Ivy's closest friend. Perceptive, loyal, and the first one to name what Ivy can't yet see in herself.
She asks the questions Ivy avoids. She says the things out loud that Ivy only thinks at 3am.
Tools to help you see the pattern before you call it love.
