Elise has always known how to exist on the edge of things, but when an unexpected connection begins to shift that balance, the changes come not as disruptions, but as a series of small, almost invisible decisions. Each one feels harmless, each one makes sense. Subtle, introspective, and quietly unsettling, Kissing the Night explores how easily we can drift into lives we never meant to choose- and how difficult it is to trace the moment where everything changed. Originally published in 2020, this novella is completely rewritten. Book 1/4.
