When Artemis moves into Apartment 5B in Pasadena, she never expects her goth-nerdy world to collide with Raj Koothrappali and his quirky circle of friends across the hall. Suddenly, her nights are filled with board games, scientific debates she never asked for, and the kind of chaos only Sheldon Cooper can create.
But somewhere between late-night stargazing, hot tub confessions, and holiday madness, Raj and Artemis discover something neither of them expected-a connection that's as awkward as it is beautiful, and maybe even love.
This is a story of laughter, friendship, and romance blooming in the most unexpected place: right across the hall.
