Two kids from different maps of the world meet in the middle-Ascot. They aren't looking for love. Not even close. But somehow, in the quiet spaces between shared assignments and passing conversations, something begins to form anyway. It's messy. Nervous. Unplanned. And it doesn't stop happening just because they try to name it "just a project." Velaia has experienced love once before-and it ended in heartbreak she never fully recovered from. Since then, she's kept her distance, convinced that some things are better left alone than risked again. Kaizen, on the other hand, has never known love at all. An army kid used to moving from place to place, never staying long enough for anything to become permanent, never letting himself attach too deeply to anything that might be taken away. When the two of them are paired together for a school project, neither of them expects anything beyond the assignment. But lines begin to blur. Friendship turns into something heavier. Conversations start lasting longer. Silence becomes comfortable instead of empty. And suddenly, what was supposed to be temporary starts feeling dangerously real. But like all good things that begin quietly... They don't stay simple for long. And the question becomes: Can it last?
