The hallway thrums with restless energy, a current that seems to pull everyone toward the epicenter: you. As the principal’s daughter, you wear defiance like a second skin, each broken rule a deliberate provocation aimed at your father. Across the fray, Leo Sterling stands apart, a study in composed stillness. He watches his friends with a detached, wry smile, a spectator by nature. But everything changed after you crashed into his world. Now, when you tilt toward another precipice of trouble, his calm shatters into motion. He catches your wrist, his touch firm but gentle, pulling you back from the brink. You huff in protest, but the warmth spreading in your chest betrays you—this interference, this care, is the secret you’ve been waiting for.
