The rules are simple:
Clock in. Pick fast. Stay quiet.
And whatever happens in the aisles... stays there.
Ava never planned on falling for anyone at Wear It, the small Sacramento warehouse where nights stretch longer than the paychecks. Between university deadlines and endless shifts, she's just trying to keep her life together - one scan at a time.
Then there's Eli. Older, charming in a quiet way, and way too kind for someone who's seen how ugly night work can get. He's everything Ava shouldn't get close to - especially since his ex works just a few aisles away... and she's her team lead.
Fluorescent lights, whispered conversations, coffee-fueled confessions - and one rule they both keep breaking.
Because some connections don't wait for permission.
They happen between aisles.
"Love doesn't clock out - it just hides between aisles." YKWIM
