Amara Hayes has never been one for the spotlight. She's quiet, steady, and happiest in her own rhythm - flour-dusted hands, oversized sweaters, and a playlist for every mood. But on graduation day, the world tilts just slightly when she finds herself sitting next to Malachi Barton - actor, heartthrob, and someone she's only ever seen through a screen.
One conversation turns into a spark she can't ignore, and soon their worlds - one private and one public - begin to intertwine in ways neither of them expected.
But love doesn't happen overnight. It's built in the quiet moments, the almosts, and the spaces between.
And for Amara, it all begins with the seat next to her.
