Through His Lens...
Zariah Bennett doesn't believe in fairytales-she believes in deadlines, hard work, and keeping her heart under lock and key. Between juggling her fashion internship, a part-time job, and her own ambitions, she has no time for distractions, especially not from a smooth-talking photographer who seems to see right through her walls.
Malik Carter is all about capturing the moment - raw, the real, the fleeting. But lately, his camera has felt like a barrier rather than a bridge. When he meets Zariah at his photography exhibit, she challenges him in a way no one else has. She's skeptical, guarded, and maddeningly intriguing.
A chance encounter turns into an unexpected collaboration, and soon, stolen glances and late-night conversations blur the lines between strangers and something more. But with fears, ambitions, and unspoken truths standing between them, will they take the risk-or will their love story remain just another moment lost in time?
