But everything shifts when she meets Ms. Miller, the new English teacher, thirty-two, composed, and impossible to ignore. From the moment Emily walks into her classroom, something about Ms. Miller lingers in her mind. It starts small - a glance held a second too long, a voice that cuts through the noise, a presence that feels impossible to shake.

What will happen when lines begin to blur, when silence becomes heavier than words, and when the distance between student and teacher starts to feel impossibly fragile? In a year meant for endings, Emily might just find herself beginning something she can't easily walk away from.
