Stay, Go, or Orbit: The Peyton Parker Chronicles

Jess Moreno believes breakups should come with one essential rule: exit. Not a dramatic exit. Not a scorched-earth disappearance. Just enough distance for everyone involved to stop pretending that proximity is neutral when it absolutely is not. Viv Bennett has other ideas. After ending their relationship, Viv does not disappear from the friend-group ecosystem they both share. She stays. She shows up. She remains in orbit-close enough to matter, distant enough to make everything worse. What follows is not one clean ending, but a slow emotional reckoning. Shared rooms become charged terrain. Group plans become quiet negotiations. And Peyton Parker, who prefers structure over chaos, quickly discovers that there is no framework capable of making unresolved feelings neat. Because when a relationship ends but the connection does not, someone always pays the emotional cost. As Jess and Viv struggle to redefine what remains between them, the group around them begins to fracture under the weight of adaptation, loyalty, and the impossible question of whether staying is honest-or just another way of refusing to let go. Stay, Go, or Orbit is a sharp, emotionally layered sapphic romantic comedy about breakups, friend-group gravity, and what happens when love changes shape without fully leaving. Perfect for readers who love: * messy post-breakup tension * emotionally intelligent sapphic romance * friend-group dynamics * unresolved chemistry * romance that asks what happens after the ending
