Seattle is rainy, grey, and perfect for disappearing -- but it's not enough to stop Theo Rivera from stumbling into someone else's not-so-perfectly curated life.
Theo is messy, chaotic, loud, and coffee-addicted. His impulsive and clingy nature is often seen as annoying, but when one magical person actual enjoys him this way, Theo is hooked. His escape to Seattle was a hurried but vital act, after nearly ending his life in his home city of Columbus OH, Theo needs a fresh start -- and, somehow, the universe pulled him in exactly the right direction.
Sam is quiet, meticulous, and a coward -- as he so calls himself. He keeps people at arms length, preferring the predictability of his favorite records and rainy afternoons. His arrival
in Seattle was nearly 10 months ago, and things were...fine. However, underneath the composed exterior is a storm of past traumas and regret. So when someone as bright as Theo arrives in Sam's life, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to his unpredictability, and perhaps, willing to let someone in.
Batya is sharp-witted, fiercely independent, and more than a little skeptical of chaos. She runs her corner of the shop with precision and pride, keeping both customers and coworkers on their toes. While she may seem tough and prepared, she really has a larger-than-life heart and a knack for seeing the truth in people -- especially the ones that try to hide behind noise and charm. And when Theo barrels into her perfectly ordered world, she can't help but get caught up in the mess, even if she'd never admit it.
