    Summary

    Harry Styles was a world-class marathon runner - until a car crash shattered his leg, his future, and any will to keep going.
    Louis is a physiotherapist working with elite footballers, and Gemma Styles’ last hope. She’s paying him well to move in with her brother for the off-season. It’s temporary. It’s clinical.
    Harry hates him. Louis isn’t thrilled either. But he’s not easily pushed away. He wasn’t prepared for the anger, the walls, or the grief - but he stays.
    And slowly, painfully, they stop being strangers. Then they stop being enemies and become something like friends. Or something else entirely.
    It’s slow. It’s brutal. It’s not what either of them expected.
    But maybe, just maybe, this time… Harry’s ready to run.
