31 parts Ongoing 'You and I, with our cats and coffee.'
____
Ocean's new semester was supposed to be simple: study, graduate, and keep to herself. But instead, she finds herself living with four guys she hardly knows until she can move into her own place. Three of them? Friendly, easygoing, no problem. The fourth? Ayden Xerlott, painfully attractive, colder than ice, and somehow always at odds with her every word.
As Ocean becomes part of their everyday rhythms, from midnight coffee runs to shared silences, she senses a hidden world just beneath the surface - one she isn't sure she's supposed to find. But in a house full of secrets and soft moments, she starts to wonder if the universe has handed her more than just a place to stay.
Between the cats curled up in cozy corners, and the undeniable tension with Ayden, Ocean wonders if fate has a different plan for her - one that goes beyond simply getting through the semester. After all, they say, "the closer you live, the better you know," especially when it's under one roof and one coffeemaker. Some connections sneak up on you, some mysteries beg to be solved, and some hearts, once unlocked, might be impossible to forget.
