When Aaron Taylor moves into the house next door, he seems like the typical quiet new neighbor—reserved, polite, and always covered in grease from working on his black custom Mustang GT late at night under the glow of his garage lights. He prefers engines over people, long drives over crowded rooms, and keeps most of himself hidden behind short answers and tired hazel eyes. Y/N never expects him to become part of her life. What starts as small conversations across driveways slowly turns into shared playlists, late-night garage talks, family dinners, and drives through empty streets with the windows down. As summer passes, Aaron finds himself pulled into the warmth of Y/N’s chaotic, loving family—the kind of comfort he’s never really had before. And somewhere between headlights after midnight and quiet moments that last longer than they should, the line between friendship and falling in love begins to blur.
