50 parts Ongoing "Falling for someone you never expected can be as beautiful as it is terrifying."
Emma thought her life was already too busy with college and her part-time job, but everything changes when she befriends Ryan-a quiet, sleepyhead with a mysterious charm. Their friendship begins with stolen moments in the storage room, quiet naps during lunch breaks, and the occasional banter. But as winter deepens, so do their feelings, and Emma starts questioning why her heart skips a beat whenever Ryan is near.
Ryan, on the other hand, isn't sure what's happening to him. Emma is his first real female friend since middle school, and the warmth of her smile lingers in his thoughts far longer than he'd like to admit. He tells himself it's just friendship, but can it really be that simple?
As they navigate their growing bond, secrets are shared, misunderstandings arise, and moments of unexpected closeness leave them both questioning if they're just friends or something more.
Will Emma and Ryan have the courage to face their feelings, or will they let their unspoken emotions drift away like the last snow of winter?
Get ready for a heartwarming, slow-burn romance filled with cozy moments, emotional twists, and the kind of love story that feels like home.
