   Summary

   Moving to San Francisco was something you planned. Teaching art at Grover Cleveland Middle School was also something you planned. Everything that happened after... well that was definitely not planned. But you weren't much of a planner anyhow. Neither was Dr. Ryland Grace for that matter. He never planned on abandoning academia for teaching middle school science. He also absolutely did not plan on falling desperately and irrevocably in love with you.

   Or

   Strangers to co-workers to friends to lovers, a mutual pining extravaganza featuring none other than Ryland Grace and You!!
