Rumah adalah tempat dimana kita bisa pulang, tempat beristirahat ketika lelah. Namun apa jadinya jika ternyata dirimu pulang ke tempat yang salah?

Romansa berlatar belakang kota New York. Eva Rusdiawati, seorang mahasiswi Indonesia yang berkuliah di Pratt Institute, dipertemukan seseorang dari masa lalu, yang bangkit dari kematiannya- Choirul Dewanto atau yang biasa di sebut "Oto". Wajah lelaki itu hampir sama seperti dahulu, namun kali ini ia jauh lebih tegas, dan menjulang tinggi, berbeda jauh dengan tubuh Eva yang pendek. Hanya satu yang Eva ingat. Dia memiliki kondisi, ASD Level 2 yang seharusnya di bawah pengawasan ketat orang tuanya. Kini di dalam gerbong metro, tempat mereka bertemu. Oto sendirian tanpa siapapun, dan seharusnya dia sudah mati. Namun, mengapa sekarang lelaki itu malah duduk di sampingnya? Tipe cerita : POV 1 & POV 2 Notes : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Level 2.

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him.

Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.
