At Silverwood University, Elanor hoped her second year would be quiet, predictable, and drama free. Instead, winter hits hard, her grandmother's passing still weighs on her, and her best friend Aiden returns acting like a walking storm of chaos and comfort.

But things shift even more when Julian Knox - the sharp, cocky, academically terrifying enemy she has, appears in her classes, ready to rival against her. With a talent for making professors impressed and students intimidated, Julian slips into Elanor's semester, Again, with the kind of presence that instantly disrupts her routine.

Between late-morning sprints to class, sarcastic banter with Aiden, and unexpected tension stirred up by Julian's calm yet cocky attitude switching to sudden protectiveness, Elanor begins navigating a semester filled with new challenges, old feelings she doesn't fully understand, and the growing realization that some connections - old and new, might change her life more than she ever planned.
