You can enter the house.
You can stay.
But you don't leave unchanged.
Mara thought she was just passing through.
A strange house.
A quiet warning.
A man who speaks in rules instead of answers.
"Don't stay past midnight."
She should have listened.
Because inside this place, time doesn't move the way it should.
It shifts.
It takes.
It rewrites.
And the longer you stay… the more it costs.
At first, the price is small.
Moments. Memories. Pieces you don't notice missing.
Until one day, something important is gone—and you don't even remember what it was.
Then there's him.
He doesn't belong to the house.
But he never leaves it.
And the closer Mara gets to the truth, the more she realizes:
He already paid the price she's about to face.
Now she has a choice.
Leave—and forget everything.
Or stay—and become part of the system itself.
But some choices don't just change your future.
They change what you are.
A clean dark romance with psychological tension, slow-burn connection, and a haunting twist on time, loss, and love.
