The Wall (Why Choose? I'll Take Them All!, #9)

The walls are thin. Loneliness isn’t.

On her first night in a new apartment, surrounded by half-unpacked boxes and a life that doesn’t quite feel like hers yet, she hears them.

Laughter. Voices. Movement through the wall.

Not just a couple.

Something else.

She tells herself she’s just curious. That it’s easier to listen than to sit alone with cold takeout and the quiet aftermath of a relationship that ended long before it was over.

But curiosity has a way of turning into connection.

When she finally meets her neighbors, it’s nothing like she expected. Dominic is easy, warm, impossible not to notice. Silas is quieter—measured, observant, the kind of man who doesn’t waste words but makes them count.

What starts as coincidence becomes routine. Shared space. Shared moments. A slow, unspoken understanding that maybe the walls between them were never meant to stay intact.

And for the first time in a long while, “maybe” starts to feel like something else.
