Game Nights with You

They were just playing games-until it stopped feeling like one. When Gladys meets Clive in the corner of a library, she expects the moment to pass like so many others-brief, pleasant, and easily forgotten. But a simple invitation to play turns into something more. One game night becomes many. Between shared routines, late-night conversations, and the rhythm of playing side by side, a connection begins to form.
It exists somewhere between worlds: part digital, part real, and entirely unexpected. Gladys has learned to leave before anything can settle into something real. Clive, more careful with his words but not his attention, finds himself unwilling to let it go so easily. As the line between game and reality begins to blur, both of them are faced with the same quiet question:What does it mean to stay, when leaving would be easier?Game Nights with You is a cozy, character-driven romance about connection in the digital age, the spaces we create for ourselves, and the courage it takes to remain when something begins to matter.
