Love on the Side" is a romance about a short-order cook, Leo, and a freelance graphic designer, Clara, who meet in a late-night diner where he works. Their connection begins with her weekly order and grows during his brief breaks at her booth. They develop deep feelings, but their relationship exists only in the margins of their complicated lives-his debt and brutal shift work, her unstable career and loneliness. After a misunderstanding and a period of strain, they must decide if their "side-order" love can become the main course. Through vulnerability and compromise, they choose to weave their lives together, moving from stolen moments to building a shared future, proving that love found in the small, honest spaces can be the most nourishing of all.
