The Run In

Draft:
Sophie runs to escape the silence of her bungalow, the grief that lingers after her brother's death never far behind. Liam runs to rebuild-his body, his career, his sense of self-after an injury threatens to end everything he's worked for.

Their worlds collide, quite literally, when Liam's overenthusiastic dog barrels Sophie off the canal path one morning. What starts as an awkward encounter soon spirals into a string of unexpected meetings, the kind that feel less like coincidence and more like fate.

As Sophie learns to let someone in again and Liam dares to imagine a future beyond the pitch, a fragile friendship blossoms-one that could heal old wounds, or risk breaking their hearts all over again.
