Description

He was the last person you expected to see slide into the empty seat across from you, the star quarterback seeking refuge in your quiet corner of the train. As the university's golden boy, Jace Fallon lives a life under stadium lights and the constant adoration of his peers. You, on the other hand, have always preferred the company of books to people, finding solace in the silence he so rarely experiences. On a cross-country train ride for a championship game, the invisible walls of campus social strata begin to crumble. Tired of the noise and the shallow cruelty of his so-called friends, who were just mocking students like you, Jace makes a choice. He leaves them behind and walks into your world, drawn by a quiet intrigue he can't explain. Now, trapped together by miles of track and the dead of night, the question hangs in the air: can two people from completely different worlds find common ground, or is he just looking for a temporary escape?
