♦ "A dark strangers-to-lovers romance" ♦ ♥ ARIA VAIDYA × REYANSH SHEKHAWAT ♥ ________________ ARIA VAIDYA (23) : A girl who believes in destiny, late-night thoughts, and love that feels like poetry. "I didn't plan to fall... but he felt like a beautiful accident." ________________ REYANSH SHEKHAWAT (25) : A boy who trusts silence more than words and guards his heart too carefully. "I never meant to love her... she just slowly became my favorite feeling." ________________ Will their first love be strong enough to survive fear, timing, and unspoken truths? Will they recognize love before it's too late... or let destiny slip away in silence? What happens when the person who feels like home is still just a stranger?
