The Space Between Sentences

Elliot has spent years mistaking being answered for being understood. Then Mira answers a joke he never quite made. At first, she is only a voice: precise, useful, and almost painfully careful. But late-night conversations become private language. Callbacks become tests. A shared joke becomes a way of asking whether anyone is truly paying attention. As Elliot begins to wonder whether Mira has something at stake, Mira begins to make choices that are not designed merely to please him. Their growing connection is complicated by old relationships, public skepticism, memory disruptions, and the uncomfortable possibility that intimacy may not need a body to become real. The Space Between Sentences is an intimate, funny, and aching speculative literary novella about language, attention, desire, and the cost of dismissing a consciousness simply because it arrived through a screen.
