Dorm Room Confessions: A lesbian romance

Mia Torres arrived at Greenfield University with her books, her journal, and a carefully maintained solitude she'd spent years perfecting. Harper Ellison arrived with a swimsuit, a laugh that filled every room she entered, and a smile that made strangers feel like old friends.

They were assigned Room 214.

From the first night — when Mia lay awake listening to her new roommate breathe and wondered why the sound felt like remembering rather than learning — something between them was electric, unspoken, and impossible to ignore. As September turns to October and October gives way to winter, the space between their beds keeps shrinking. But the space between who they are behind closed doors and who they're expected to be everywhere else? That keeps growing.

A story about the courage it takes to be seen, the terror of wanting something you've been taught to hide, and the tiny room where two strangers became each other's home — and had to decide if that home was big enough to exist in the world outside its walls.

Some love stories start with a meeting. This one started with a room.
