    Summary

    A slow-burn, modern college AU romance between Vi, an emotionally-guarded hockey player, and Caitlyn, a perfectionist newcomer with a legacy to uphold. Their anonymous relationship begins when Caitlyn finds Vi’s number inside a library book — placed there by Vi’s chaotic sister, Jinx, on a whim. Neither of them knows who the other is, even as they grow emotionally attached through late-night messages and confession-laced banter. Meanwhile, their real-life paths keep crossing — often awkwardly, unknowingly, sometimes explosively — until the inevitable moment when everything collides.

    Or

    A number in a book.
    A message sent on a whim.
    Two strangers-"V" and "Anon"-text beneath borrowed names, trading sarcasm, softness, and secrets they'd never say out loud.
    They don't know they pass each other in hallways.
    Or that they've just been paired for a semester-long project.
    Some stories begin with a name.
    Theirs begins without one
