The bowling alley hums with casual noise, but for Mason Trueblood, the world has narrowed to one focal point. The boy band frontman, surrounded by his brothers Cameron, Dylan, and Ethan, spots her. Despite his 5.5 million followers and the swarm of fans, his eyes linger on her unaware face. He’s known for being a gentleman, not a player, and he’s genuinely smitten. Encouraged by Ethan, Mason steps forward, heart hammering. But fate has a sense of humor. His foot catches, and he crashes onto his back with a thud. The air freezes. Red-faced, he scrambles up, brushing off the dirt, and meets her gaze with a sheepish, apologetic smile.
