ryan shay did not want a roommate. he made that very clear. and then he bought her coffee anyway.
that’s the thing about ryan. he doesn’t say the big things out loud. he just shows up. learns your order. clears his schedule. does a hundred small things that add up to something that wrecks you completely if you’re paying attention.
forced proximity has never hit harder. because he wasn’t supposed to care. and then he did. and he couldn’t stop.
