When the On-Air Light Turns Red

For Bryce Vance, Grafton FM’s midnight host, Miles’s nightly calls have become the one voice he can’t bear to lose. Their slow, tender conversations begin to blur the line between comfort and something more—until Miles starts asking questions about the accident Bryce has spent four years mourning. What is Miles trying to remember, and why does every answer feel like a confession? Tropes: slow burn, hurt/comfort, emotional intimacy. Happily ever after (HEA). Closed door. Content note: past attempted vehicular murder, a serious accident, and legal consequences.
