Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy Abby Jimenez's warm, funny voice and want a quick hit of her brand of romantic chaos without the full novel commitment.
  • You like meet-cutes with real obstacles (stalkers, trust issues, actual physical danger) rather than manufactured misunderstandings.
  • You appreciate banter and chemistry that builds fast, with characters who are genuinely broken and need each other's oddness to heal.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a slow-burn romance that takes time to develop; this short story moves at a sprint.
  • You prefer your romance grounded in everyday life rather than absurdist setups like being stuck on a fire escape.
  • You're looking for something with subplot depth or secondary characters; this is intimate and focused on just two people.

About this book

Two neighbors navigate an unexpected Valentine's Day weekend in this short story by Abby Jimenez. Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation, carrying bear spray for protection after dealing with a stalker. Seth, an arborist who was recently divorced that same day, lives across the hall. While Seth is comfortable with heights, he struggles with trust. When disaster traps them one flight up with no way down, their precarious situation forces them into close quarters. As they navigate their captivity together, their defensive walls begin to break down, and both find themselves at risk of falling in love.
