✨ Chapter 1: The Rain Fell First

He liked the rain because no one could see his tears.
But he didn't expect to find someone willing to walk beside him through the storm.

Luca Reyes is used to being invisible-quiet, cold, and alone. That's how he survives high school: unnoticed and untouched.

Eli Torres is everything he's not-bright, popular, and pretending to have it all together.

When a rainy morning forces them under the same umbrella, their worlds collide.
What starts as an awkward walk home becomes something deeper. Secrets are shared, hearts are tested, and love starts to bloom-slowly, softly, like the rain itself.

But not everyone is ready to see two boys holding hands in the hallway.
