The first time.

Ive prefers the quiet. She's not the type to draw attention or share her thoughts freely-life taught her early that it's easier to keep people at arm's length. Leah, her best friend, is the only person she trusts to stick around, and that's more than enough for her.

Finn's used to starting over. New towns, new schools, new faces-it's all part of the routine. He's learned to stay invisible, avoid the awkwardness of being the "new kid," and keep his distance.

Neither of them are looking for anything to change. But life has a funny way of crossing paths that were never meant to meet. From awkward silences in class to unexpected run-ins around town, Ive and Finn find themselves in the same spaces, over and over again.

This is a story about two people learning that sometimes, connection isn't loud or obvious. It's the quiet moments that can change everything.
