Against the Rules

Lana has always been a rebel. She grew up in the suburbs of a big city, where she felt suffocated by society's norms and expectations. Her unruly nature and propensity for risky behavior eventually led her to a rehabilitation center. It was there, between therapy classes and sessions with a psychologist, that she met Elliot. Elliot was a staff member at the center. Always full of empathy and understanding, he believed in a second chance for everyone, regardless of their past. His warm smile and calm nature attracted the attention of all patients, but Lana was the one who evoked more than professional concern. Over the months spent at the center, Lana and Elliot began to grow closer. Their conversations became longer and deeper, filled with personal confessions and dreams. Elliot saw in Lana not only a rebellious girl, but also a person full of passion and potential. Lana, though skeptical at first, began to see him as someone who truly understood and accepted her. Although they both knew that their relationship was forbidden and unprofessional, they could not stop their developing feelings. Elliot, however, kept his distance, trying not to violate the boundaries of his role. When the day came when Lana was to leave the center, they both realized that this was also the day when their relationship would not be doomed to limitations. But would Lana really adjust to the world, and would the relationship with Elliot change her forever?
