The Gravity of You

Darciella Carter had her future planned down to the last detail.

Play volleyball. Earn a scholarship. Leave home, probably.

Simple.

At least, it was supposed to be.

After a career-ending injury shatters the future she'd spent years working toward, Darci is forced to confront a reality she never prepared for. As graduation approaches and adulthood looms just beyond the horizon, she finds herself searching for direction in the one thing that's always felt like home: photography.

While most people see the world as it is, Darci has always preferred viewing it through a lens. Quiet, observant, and more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. She spends years behind the lens, capturing everyone else's lives while actively trying to hide from her own.

But growing up has a way of demanding to be seen.

For Cyrus DeLaney, the future has never felt closer. One year out of high school and working toward opportunities that could change his life forever, he's eager to embrace everything that comes next.

Where Darci hesitates, Cyrus leaps. Where she withdraws, he reaches out. And no matter how uncertain the road ahead becomes, he's always been the person capable of pulling her back into the light.

Because the future isn't something you find.

It's something you create.

And sometimes, no matter how much the world changes, there is always one person whose gravity keeps you from drifting away.
