Two strangers. One apartment. One agreement they never meant to break. When a last-minute housing crisis forces them to share a space, the rules are simple. No complications. No crossing lines. No getting involved. At first, it works. They coexist in quiet routines, shared silences, and late-night conversations that mean nothing. until they start to mean everything. Because some distances are harder to maintain than others.
And the closer they get, the more dangerous the agreement becomes. What happens when the one person you were never supposed to fall for becomes the only place that feels like home?The Roommate Agreement is an intimate, slow-burn contemporary romance about proximity, tension, and the quiet moments that change everything.
