19 parts Ongoing Sophia Harper, 16, was the kind of girl who existed just under the radar. Not invisible, but not someone who sought the spotlight, either. She preferred to spend her afternoons sketching in the park or tucked into the corner booth of her favorite café with a worn novel in hand. Her friends called her a dreamer, and they weren't wrong-her mind was often somewhere else, chasing possibilities that felt far away from her small, quiet town. But lately, something had shifted. Maybe it was the way the late-summer sun hit the horizon or the restlessness that came with junior year, but Sophia could feel it: life was about to change. Caleb Reed, 17, had always been a little rough around the edges. Not in a bad way-he just didn't have the time or patience for appearances. Between school, football practice, and working at his uncle's auto shop, there wasn't much room for anything else. But Caleb didn't mind; staying busy kept him grounded. Life in his small town was predictable, steady, and that's how he liked it. At least, that's what he thought-until he saw her. One chance meeting, and suddenly, predictability didn't feel so safe anymore.
