He comes from nothing-silent, disciplined, invisible by choice. College isn't a playground for him, it's survival. She was born into money, rebellion, and expectations she refuses to obey. Parties, noise, and chaos keep her from feeling the loneliness she never admits. Their worlds collide the night she tries to mock him-and he walks away without a glance. That rejection becomes the beginning of her obsession.
What starts as a game turns into a love that strips her of her old self and forces him to feel what he's always shut out. But the world doesn't forgive what it can't control. Her powerful family moves to destroy him, and she steps into the fire meant for him. In her final breath, she gives him the only thing she never truly owned-her life. And in losing her, he loses the air his heart breathes.
