Julian is the guy everyone wants to be around. He's loud, clumsy, and has a heart so big it barely fits in his chest. Most people see his "Golden Retriever" energy and think he's simple, but Julian's sunshine hides a desperate need to make everyone happy.
Then there's Malik. Sharp-edged, brilliant, and deeply private, Malik is the "Black Cat" of the architecture department. He doesn't do "friends," and he definitely doesn't do "cute." But Julian is the only person who remembers the promise they made under the bleachers years ago-and Julian is the only person Malik will actually let close.
Between late-night study sessions and Julian's relentless optimism, Malik's walls are starting to crumble. But can a "Black Cat" really handle that much light?
