    Summary

    The first night I met him, I should’ve known better. I shouldn't have let him anywhere near me.

    But I did. Every single time.

    The second he looked at me, something inside me just… snapped.

    It wasn’t sensible or romantic or even remotely safe, it was instinct. Primal. Like my body decided it wanted him long before my brain had a chance to protest.

    And every time he proved exactly why I should walk away, that pull only got stronger, dragging me back to him like gravity with teeth.

    This isn’t a love story.

    This is how Matty Healy ruined my fucking life.

    Summary

    “You look so cute in your little vest.”

    George spins around, already livid. He sighs when he comes face to face with Ross, grinning at him playfully. George takes a deep breath, and grits his teeth. 

    “Fuck off, Ross.”

    He only gets a pout in response. 

    “I’m serious, get out.” 

    Ross raises his hands in mock-innocence.

    “I’m just an innocent shopper looking for pasta.”

    Summary

    Dear Renewed Images,

    I am writing out to you over an urgent matter of one of my oldest clients and friends.
    I sincerely hope you hear my heart, as I am writing this from a hospital waiting room.
    My hurting friend, Matty Healy, is in dire need of PR help to renew his public image and give him a hand up through a clean slate.
    My assistant informs me that you are the best PR agency in London and have serviced many celebrities to get back on track with their lives.
    I am truly hoping for any and all help that you may perceive to help the situation.
    I am happy to discuss any of the finances personally as this is more of a personal matter rather than strictly business.

    Please see the attached article and podcast below to get an idea of how in depth this case may be for your agency.

    Thank You Dearly,
    Jamie Oborne

    Summary

    “George was just telling me how he thinks he needs to smoke less.”

    “I was fucking not.”

    Ross laughs. “I think... I agree with Matty. You, like-” he chokes as he inhales, giggles to himself, “-smoke...so much. You smoke more than my nan and she gets through about...a billion packs a week. And,” Ross points at him, jabs at his chest, “that’s not including the weed.”

    Summary

    They’re free to leave of course, but their duty to give witness compels them to ignore the red flags he is throwing up. Maybe it’s the one in a million chance that he’ll convert even as he asks them to engage in things against the core principles of their creed. Maybe being robbed of their freedom to choose lets them to crave what they aren’t allowed to for the first time. Either way, they are both frozen like two rabbits with a hawk circling over their heads.
    Ross leans back and watches their minds break.

    Summary

    When Violet moves into a crumbling apartment with her six-month-old daughter, June, she isn’t chasing happiness — just safety. Between ER night shifts and the ghosts she’s trying to outgrow, she barely notices the music drifting through her ceiling until one night it stops her mid-cry.

    Her upstairs neighbor, Matty, runs the record-shop slash café down the street — a place that smells like pretentiously good espresso and vintage vinyls. He’s chaotic, too kind for his own good, and suddenly can’t stop making excuses to see her. With Ross, his steady-hearted best friend, watching from behind his law textbooks, Matty starts to realize that love can be quiet — a warm mug, a soft song, a baby’s laugh through thin walls.

    and (steamed) milk. is a slow-burn story about finding safety in someone’s orbit and learning that love doesn’t have to save you — sometimes, it just sits beside you while you heal.
