Aanya believes in love.
The dramatic, butterflies-in-your-stomach, blush-for-no-reason kind of love.
The kind that makes life feel louder, brighter, more alive.
Adrian Carter?
He believes love is a distraction.
Cold voice.
Blank face.
Heart locked behind walls no one has ever broken.
He's the boy who looks at couples like they're doing something illegal.
The boy who speaks only when necessary.
The boy who treats emotions like they're a waste of time.
And unfortunately, he just became my partner for a three-month school project.
Me — Aanya Sen, the girl who feels everything too deeply.
Him — Adrian Carter, the boy who refuses to feel anything at all.
This is the story of how the boy who hated love…
accidentally fell for the girl who believed in it too much.
And maybe, just maybe—
how I melted the heart he swore he didn't have.
