She signed up for a science project. She didn't expect it to involve her heart.
When overachieving and socially invisible Aira Mendoza is partnered with the school's golden boy, Lance Rivera, for a health project that requires tracking heart rate responses to emotional stimuli, things get complicated fast. Lance is charming, reckless, and everything Aira avoids-until their experiment starts blurring the line between data and desire.
As they explore adrenaline, fear, and attraction, Aira finds her heartbeat syncing with Lance's in ways she never anticipated. But with secrets, social pressure, and unexpected feelings pulsing through their lives, will this experiment end in heartbreak or something deeper?
When the experiment turns real, can the heart lie?
"Maybe it's not the data that's flawed-maybe it's us who are scared of what it means." -Aira Mendoza

"You should have known me better than this, little sparrow," He chuckled deeply, his gaze fixed on me. "Lucas please!" I cried, now stopped by the wall as my heart beats faintly.

Maybe in Another Time
Liora believes that loving someone means being brave, even when it hurts. In high school, she finds herself drawn to Kael-a quiet, distant boy who keeps everyone at arm's length. Despite his cold rejections, Liora confesses her feelings again and again, choosing honesty over fear, hope over pride. Each confession becomes a small act of courage, even as her heart slowly learns what it means to ache. As days pass, glances linger longer, silences grow heavier, and emotions begin to shift in ways neither of them expects. While Liora struggles between holding on and letting go, Kael faces his own quiet battles-ones that shape the way he loves, the way he pushes people away, and the things he's too afraid to say out loud. This is a slow-burn story about unspoken feelings, missed timing, and the kind of love that doesn't always end the way we imagine-but still leaves a mark. A story about growing up, choosing yourself, and learning that sometimes, even if two hearts don't end up together, their story still matters.
