Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

But pretending is harder than they expected-especially when old feelings resurface and lines blur between curated moments and the real ones. From bus rides and hotel rooms to late-night talks and a snow-covered Diag in Michigan, Margo and Luke must navigate growing attention, genuine emotions, and what it means to fall in love under the spotlight... but off the record. A soft, slow-burn romance about missed chances, second glances, and loving someone when the cameras are both on and off.
