He's a smooth talker, a shameless flirt, and a man who never sticks around long enough for anything serious. But when Sam moves into a new apartment, his next-door neighbor, Amy, throws him off his game without even trying. She's not impressed by his charm, barely spares him a glance, and doesn't hesitate to call him out when he's being annoying.
Somehow, between her eye rolls and his smirks, they fall into an unexpected rhythm. Late-night balcony conversations over wine, book discussions that turn into debates, teasing that slowly turns into something deeper. For the first time, Sam has a female friend. And for the first time, he's not sure if friendship is enough.
