Sunlit Rain

Grayson Calloway is the epitome of a golden boy. He has friends, happiness and everything he could want except for the very thing he yearns for - deeper connection.

Iris Arden keeps to herself. She's been burnt from past relationships and is guarded but what happens when she runs into a ray of light that she has no choice but to let in.

A strangers-to-lovers with a twist on a sunshine x midnight rain trope.

He lives in his gruesome past, she lives in her numbing present and it'll affect both of their future.
They both have nothing to lose with their presence alone but with each other, everything to gain.

"So then we sit there and up in the open just like all of our secrets. The stars above our head like all of our experiences bringing an incandescent glow through the darkness and they shine specifically tonight for us to find light in each other. The wind calms me and there's a faint scent of something I can't touch: vulnerability."

They both have darkness the question is when will the light they witness from each other be enough to let their own light from within finally gleam?
Like the sun fighting through dark clouds when it stops raining. Or will they learn to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to end?
