Willow doesn't do emotions, not the messy kind, at least. She'd rather keep her walls up and her comebacks sharp. But when she gets pulled into the orbit of Matt Sturniolo, the quiet one with too many thoughts behind those calm eyes, she finds herself unraveling in ways she never planned for.
Their connection is subtle, buried beneath awkward silences, late night car rides, and petty arguments that mean more than they should. But Willow's past isn't done with her yet, and Matt's got his own way of disappearing when things get too real.
As tension builds and feelings slip through the cracks, they both have to ask: were they always just almost something... or are they too scared to become everything?
