Red Flags and Reckless Heart

Introduction

Ava Sinclair lived in a world of quiet moments-pages turning in solitude, the gentle hum of a coffee shop, the sharp click of her pen against her notebook. Her life was a carefully balanced equation: school, poetry, the weight of her parents' expectations, and the occasional stolen glance at the horizon when she thought of what lay beyond her small town. She was a thinker, a dreamer, a girl who found pieces of herself in the words she wrote but had never dared to step outside the lines of her carefully drawn world.

Jake Donovan, on the other hand, was the storm to her stillness. He was all untied shoelaces and reckless laughter, the kind of boy who lit up rooms while hiding the shadows of his own. Everyone knew Jake, or thought they did-the artist who left his mark on the town in graffiti murals and whispered scandals. Beneath the charm and chaos was a boy wrestling with his own ghosts, too proud and too hurt to let anyone in.

Their worlds should never have collided. But on an unremarkable Friday, amid the salt air of a beach cleanup neither of them wanted to be at, Ava and Jake crossed each other's paths for the first time. In that moment, the quiet girl with ink-stained fingers and the rebellious boy with paint under his nails found themselves staring at something neither expected-a spark.
