This story explores the journey of finding love in unexpected circumstances. Charlotte and Seth are thrust into an unusual situation that confines them to their apartment building for an entire weekend. Charlotte, haunted by a string of past traumatic events, initially tried to avoid getting to know her neighbour. However, she quickly sees that he is a good guy and opens up to him. While stuck in their building, their shared experiences on the landing outside their apartments are really adorable. 

I found the climax scene to be somewhat rushed, as it unfolded quickly without fully capturing the significance of the event when Charlotte confronts her tormentor and takes back control over her life. I wish the scene had been longer with more depth to truly emphasize the impact of this moment on Charlotte’s life. 

Charlotte’s transformation is the highlight of the story. She evolves from being fearful and withdrawn into a confident woman thanks to Seth’s steady and calming presence. He becomes the anchor she needs, providing stability and support as she works through her trauma. These two are adorable and deserve all the love.
