Stellar Redemption: Leona's second chance.

After tragically falling victim to her husband's violence and betrayal, Leona finds herself inexplicably thrust back in time, granted a precious second chance to rewrite the narrative of her life. Determined to seize this opportunity and carve a path solely for herself, she resolves to steer clear of entanglements with men, vowing to prioritize her own well-being above all else. However, fate has other plans as Zane Orion unexpectedly enters her life, his presence disrupting her carefully crafted solitude. Despite her initial reluctance, Leona finds herself drawn to Zane's magnetic charm and genuine kindness. Yet, the scars of her past still haunt her, casting a shadow of doubt over the possibility of opening her heart once more. As Leona grapples with conflicting emotions and the fear of vulnerability, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, torn between the desire for love and the lingering trauma of her past. Will she ultimately find the courage to embrace love anew, or will the ghosts of her past continue to hold her captive in their grip? [Background is an Interstellar/Space opera world, so CEO urban but in space and better technology]

Crash

How long can I hold out? Honestly, I don't fucking know. Every moment feels like a test, a slow-burning trial of my patience and willpower. It's not just the proximity—it's her.

Leona had suggested we stay in today. Said something about how much trouble she caused last night, how it'd be better to keep things low-key. I'd laughed it off at first, told her she hadn't been that bad, but inside? Inside, I knew the truth: staying in a confined space with her all day was going to be its own special kind of hell.

Because it's not just being around her—it's being around her like this. Leona, in one of my shirts again, her legs bare and her hair slightly messy from sleep. It's the way she moves through the room, so completely unaware of the effect she has on me.

I swear, I can feel the figurative spaceship crash before it happens. I know where this is headed if I'm not careful.
