IN WHICH, When a reckless decision leaves Riley responsible for her baby niece after her sister vanishes without a trace, Riley's world spirals. Shes barely holding it together-working two jobs, sleep-deprived, and emotionally frayed. The last thing she expects is for her high school acquaintance, Chris Sturniolo-now a rising social media star-to stumble back into her life at her lowest point.
He offers help. Babysitting here, a late-night food run there... until suddenly, he's more present in Rileys life than anyone else has been in years.
But Chris has a brand to protect and a career to maintain-and as the line between friendship and something deeper starts to blur, they both have to face the truth: Is Riley just a temporary safe place for each other-or is there something real growing beneath the chaos?
