10 Reasons to Stay as Friendly Strangers
Reverie Jones has a rule: never fall for the quarterback captain.
Especially not Aiden Lewis - campus crush, football captain, golden boy with a smile that could bench-press her common sense.
All he did was ask for directions. Then he said thank you. Like, actually meant it. While his smirking friends rolled their eyes behind him. That was it. That was the moment Reverie flipped.

Rule #2: Destiny is not a rom-com trope.

So she doubles down on her list. Tells herself it's safer as strangers who smile.
What she doesn't know? The anonymous boy she vents to every night on the anonymous chat app - the one who actually listens, who makes her laugh until 2 AM, who told her "friendly strangers can still change your life"-is the same boy she's trying so hard not to fall for.
She wrote 10 reasons to keep her distance whereas
He might be reason #1 to break every single one.
