"A secret brought us together. Another will destroy us." - Johan

For two years, I've kept my secret locked away, buried deep beneath the responsibilities and expectations that come with being a PhD student and researcher in Archaeology at Cambridge. I once had a crush on Elise, but now it's her younger sister, Hannah, who has captured my heart. Her bright eyes, sharp wit, and infectious laughter captivated me, but her youth, the fact that I was known as Elise's crush, and the distance between us—she in the Netherlands and I in the UK—made acting on my feelings unthinkable.

But now, Hannah is back in my life, stepping onto the hallowed grounds of Cambridge as a fresher. The once-distant crush reawakens with a force that threatens to unravel the careful life I've built. As she navigates her new world, long-buried secrets and forbidden desires resurface, pulling us into a web of mystery and danger. The balance between duty and longing becomes increasingly fragile, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Will I be able to maintain the careful life I've built and suppress the feelings I have for her, or will her return push me to act on them, risking everything?
