She came in oversized clothes, a half-finished drink, and zero intention of dancing. He came with his boys, a glass of Hennessy, and a past he never talks about. They weren't supposed to cross paths. But then her friend disappeared into the crowd... and his eyes found her. First from across the room. Then from a little closer. The close enough to touch. And when the right song dropped-his hand wrapped around her waist like it belonged there. No words. No plan. Just chaos, rhythm, and tension thick enough to stop the music. He's friendly, loud, hot-until he's cold, rude, and impossible to read. She's shy, distant, unbothered-until he touches her and something inside her wakes up. Two strangers. Two secrets. Two hearts that shouldn't pull together but can't let go. They met on the wrong night-in the most perfect way. "Eyes Across the Room" is a realistic romance full of passion, chaos, street tension, and the kind of eye contact that changes everything.
