Nakiya Charles has mastered the art of holding everything together: her grades, her future, her family, her friends. Asaan Bennett has always believed that the right people find you when you're not looking for them. When a chance meeting during their senior year of college keeps turning into another... and then another, an unexpected friendship begins to bloom between two people who have spent most of their lives being everything for everyone else. But as they grow closer, so do the fears they've carefully kept hidden. Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't falling in love. It's trusting someone enough to catch you. Can two people who are used to being everyone else's safety net be brave enough to become each other's? "Boy, you got me tripping, falling with no safety net."

What started as curiosity quickly turned into late-night conversations, flirtation that blurred lines, and a chemistry neither of them could ignore - even from opposite sides of the country.

This one-off story is inspired by a real experience and dives into the build-up, the anticipation, and what happens when two people finally get the chance to explore what they've been teasing for months. For readers who always wanted the uncensored side of the stories... this one's for you.
