A NIGHT LIKE THIS
A NIGHT LIKE THIS By Kyra Smith Amara Hill and Elias Carter were never supposed to be more than friends of friends. She was the passionate fine arts major with a soft heart and bold vision; he was the quiet, brilliant engineering student who kept his feelings buried beneath equations and loyalty.

A relationship that left scars she never spoke of... and Elias never understood. Years later, Amara is thriving in Los Angeles as a digital designer for a top creative agency, and Elias is rising through the ranks of a leading engineering firm in their college town. Their paths seemed permanently split-until fate, and a work conference, bring Elias to LA. What starts as a routine business trip turns unexpected when Elias stumbles upon The BLOCC, a vibrant downtown festival showcasing black artist of all kinds... and finds Amara showcasing her work under glowing string lights and city beats. One magical night. One undeniable spark. One chance to finally say the things left unsaid. But as laughter and chemistry blur the past and present, the question remains: can a love born in silence survive the noise of the real world? Because some love stories don't begin with a kiss... they begin with a night like this.
