Rayan Hale was never supposed to stay. He works in a mechanic shop owned by Tuba’s father, a man who believes people can change even when they don’t deserve a second chance. Rayan is one of those chances—quiet, damaged, and carrying a past he never talks about. Tuba is just the girl at the counter. That’s all she was supposed to be. But slow moments turn into something heavier. Silence starts meaning more. And suddenly, ignoring each other isn’t as easy as it used to be. Noah sees it before anyone else. And instead of stopping it, he decides to interfere. Because sometimes healing looks a lot like breaking first.
