Alexa Bennett is a high-achieving senior with no time for distractions, least of all Jake Harper-a laid back, quiet senior who seems too calm for his own good. Forced to partner on a semester-long history project, Alexa is determined to handle everything herself, convinced Jake won't pull his weight. But as they spend more time together, she discovers there's more to him than his relaxed demeanor-he's thoughtful, insightful, and might just be the grounding force she never knew she needed. Through late night study sessions, shared vulnerabilities, and quiet moments of understanding, Alexa begins to see that sometimes love isn't loud it's found in the quiet, unexpected spaces in between.
