Six friends. Three broken couples. One last trip.

In college, Kabir's apartment in Chennai was their home: missed classes, parties, late-night beach drives, and a friendship that seemed impossible to lose.

Years later, a reunion brings them together for one last trip to Goa. Then Nila walks out after midnight—and doesn't come back.

Her messages keep arriving. A café envelope leads to hidden records. Family documents reveal a private investigation. An object from Kabir's old apartment turns up somewhere it should never have been.

As the other five search for her, they begin to question what their friend is trying to tell them—and who is really sending the messages.

A mystery thriller novella about fractured friendships, unresolved attraction, and the secrets people carry. Book One of the Save Me a Seat series. Ends on a cliffhanger.
