Through Our Walls: A Neighbors-to-Lovers 30-Minute Romance Short Read
Simone Monet
But every night, they listen—through the wall.
Sienna didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Not at first. But her neighbor’s midnight murmurs—low, soothing, and meant for someone else—felt like a balm to her soul. In a quiet apartment with walls too thin, his voice became her favorite part of the night.
Julian wasn’t trying to be heard. But when he spoke to his brother—or to himself—it was with the kind of emotional honesty he never dared share in daylight. Until the woman next door started responding… without ever saying a word.
When a leak forces them face to face, what begins as awkward proximity turns into something deeper than either of them expected. Their connection didn’t start with touch—it started with truth. And now that they’ve finally met, the question isn’t whether the walls will come down.
It’s whether they were ever real to begin with.
Featuring a special Reflections section with affirmations and journal prompts to guide your own journey through vulnerability, emotional intimacy, and the kind of love that listens first and touches second.

If you’ve ever longed to be truly seen—and loved anyway—Through Our Walls is for you.
