Out Of Style

Quelliah Ardove swore she'd never fall again. After being betrayed by her highschool sweetheart, the same boy who left her just because she refused to give him what he wanted, she built her walls high and tough. The heartbreak left her empty, until one night, after fainting near the dorm where her ex lived, she woke up to a stranger who somehow knew her name. His name was Ziander. Mysterious, calm, and gentle, he was the kind of comfort she never asked for.

They never saw each other again... until college.
Now a first-year student, Quelliah hides her bitterness behind confidence and charm, but when she crosses paths with Ziander once more, everything shifts. This time, she decides not to love, only to play. A casual fling. No promises. No emotions.

But what happens when the game turns real?
When "no strings attached" becomes something deeper, harder to let go of?

They try to move on, to like other people; yet somehow, their hearts keep pulling back to the same burning, complicated truth: maybe connection doesn't end just because you want it to.
