i love you, i'm sorry

"𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒙 𝒚𝒐𝒖."

Anaya Mishra has everything going for her: the looks, the money, the education, the perfect life, according to many. What more could she ask for?

Her mother, a well renowned designer in the world of fashion, with her fusion of South Asian and Western culture, and her father a leading entrepreneur in the tech industry, determined to make tech accessible for all. They're good people and more importantly good parents. Now all she has to do is meet her their expectations. Can't be that hard, right? Well, given that her older brother has far surpassed any expectations they had for him, all she has to do is surpass those.

Abba expects university, Ammi expects ballet - but that's the last thing Anaya wants to think about. Ballet's ruined her, quietly. It's eroded from a passion, to a reminder of her naivety, her stupidity. Her brother tells her to do what she wants, what she likes, but what she likes - music, writing - isn't acceptable in their world.

And then there's Wylan Colbert, the exact antithesis of Anaya in every way. A world away from Anaya's carefully curated life. He has the looks (he's been told), sure, and the education since Lindenhurst gave him the scholarship. But that's where the similarities end.

He doesn't have time for frivolities like she does. Hobbies are a no, friends are a no, relationships an even bigger no. He has far bigger things to be concerned about - i.e: protecting his younger siblings from their father's whiskey fuelled rage.

All he wants is some sleep at the end of his days.

So, do sparks fly when their worlds collide?
