On the other hand, the neat and well-organized Mateo is working in his father's restaurant, a role he has held long-term. He would've never foreseen a clumsy girl breaking the routine he's used to, and even less so that a long-buried feeling would resurface.

Broken doorknobs, blue vehicles, and shared passions. Your cliché love & hate story that'll keep you hooked from the beginning.

She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers.
