π After I met you
They met on a night that wasn't supposed to mean anything.
A crowded bar. Two groups of friends. A glance that lingered too long.
Leah Monroe doesn't believe in love ...not the kind that stays, anyway. She's careful, distant, and always one step ahead of her own feelings. Liam Carter, on the other hand, wears his heart like it's armor...open, honest, and unafraid to feel too much.
When their worlds collide at the Moonlight Bar, neither expects anything beyond a passing moment. But what begins as tension and teasing slowly turns into late-night laughter, unspoken confessions, and a connection that refuses to fade.
Love doesn't happen all at once. Sometimes, it begins with a look across a crowded room and changes everything after.
