In the cozy, ever-rainy town of Coldbrooke, where every street smells like cinnamon and thrift shops feel like treasure maps, Henley Abrams is sunshine in Doc Martens, sweet, golden, and always humming a love song. Lucian Vale is her opposite in the softest way, a quiet library boy who lives in chunky sweaters, silver rings, and the pages of vintage books.
They've been best friends since a spilled coffee and a shared playlist in high school. But as the leaves start to fall and the air turns crisp, something shifts. A look held too long. A laugh that lingers. A moment they almost reach for each other, but don't.
In a town made for slow burns and secondhand magic, Henley and Lucian must navigate their feelings, their fears, and the fragile line between friendship and something more. Because sometimes love doesn't show up in grand gestures, it sneaks in during a rainy walk, a thrifted record, or the way he looks at her in October.
