    Summary

    Liv came to Art Center by saving up all her money, determined to build something of her own. Surrounded by people who never had to fight for their place, she keeps her distance — pretending she doesn’t crave connection. She doesn’t believe in easy things. Especially not easy feelings.

    Mike pours everything he doesn’t know how to say into music. Quiet, awkward, and constantly underestimated, he’s trying to keep his band together while figuring out where he fits in it. The last thing he expects is someone who actually sees him.

    When their paths keep crossing, art turns into conversation, conversation into something neither of them is ready to name — and suddenly, staying detached isn’t so simple anymore.
