Shared secrets slip through the cracks. And somewhere between late-night study sessions and unexpected sparks, Levi starts noticing things he shouldn't-like the way Dakota smiles when he forgets to hide it. Just when things feel almost right, a mistake shatters everything. Harsh words. Betrayal. Bad blood. And suddenly they're strangers again - hurt, angry, and pretending they never cared.

When Alex stumbles across a man in town wearing a blindfold, holding a sign that says, 'You are not alone. If you need a talk or a hug. I am here.' He takes it upon himself to approach the stranger. Was this the sign he has been looking for? - River has been a mental health advocate for three years. With his own demons battled, he takes it upon himself to support others. More specifically strangers. He has always found peace in helping those who suffer in silence. When River is approached by a man who expresses his depressive tendencies, he decides to take the broken stranger for coffee, out of fear of what might happen if he lets him go. River tells him to offload, release all the sadness and frustration he has into someone who knows nothing about him. But when he leaves, River can't stop thinking about him. It's not until Alex comes back a few months later to thank him for listening when he needed help the most. Alex has a lot to thank for his signs from the universe.
