Sienna, with book-occupied hands and earphones always in, has never left Ashford Hollow - and doesn't plan to. She lives where she most wants to, journaling all her thoughts in shitty notebooks and serving espresso shots at the Hallow Café. Soft eyes, quiet soul, music in her bloodstream. She's not looking for love. Or drama. Or anything, really.
Then Mateo walks in - A Spanish student with shy curls, geeky glasses, and bad playlists. He orders an oat milk latte and asks her for songs that feel like ache. She gives him Phoebe Bridgers. Mitski. A dog-eared copy of The Bell Jar. He keeps coming back - 7 a.m, every morning. Just to see her.
It all happened so fast. A double date she didn't want. A surprise she definitely didn't expect. A letter in her mailbox. And everything spirals sweetly from there. Kisses in parking lots, shared headphones, stolen hours. But when she asks him what they are, he says nothing. He just smiles awkwardly. In that moment, something in her stomach cracks.
Because Mateo's hiding something.
She just doesn't know what.
Love letters don't fix everything, but maybe they're a start.
