Qillanqa understands moss far better than people. Inside her humid, plant-filled rooftop workshop overlooking the city skyline, she creates miniature glass worlds where everything stays balanced, quiet, and predictable. Her peaceful sanctuary is upended when Sayriuay, an impossibly cheerful architectural landscaper with a penchant for oversized sketches and bright sweaters, is assigned to co-design the conservatory's new public mezzanine. Sayriuay wants open breezeways and sprawling flower beds; Qillanqa insists on delicate, enclosed ecosystem capsules. As they share steamy tea, late-night drafting tables, and messy soil trays, their prickly professional rivalry softens into something deeply tender. When a sudden storm threatens their most fragile specimens, working together becomes the only way to build a sanctuary large enough for both of their hearts.
