Ella Brooks never thought anything important could happen between a partner project and a borrowed jacket.
Assigned to work with Noah Thomas for two weeks, Ella expects quiet study sessions and nothing more. But Noah notices things - the way she hesitates, the way she smiles when she forgets she's being watched, the way she looks wearing his jacket like it was always meant to be hers.
Between late afternoons, ice rinks, and moments that linger longer than they should, something begins to shift. No one says it out loud. They don't have to.
Because some feelings grow in the silence - in the things you don't say.
