Between the Lines

Dominic Sinclair is Blackthorne University's golden boy.
Zariah James is the one person unimpressed by him.

He lives beneath stadium lights and impossible expectations.
She hides pieces of herself in paintings, playlists, and late-night songs.

But somewhere between shared classes, winter nights, and conversations that felt too honest, the lines between temporary and forever started to blur.

And neither of them was ready for what came next.
