"Sometimes, the smallest moments mean the most."
Luca's POV
I don't notice people.
Not unless they matter.
And most people?
Don't.
But that girl…
There was something about her.
The way she looked at me—
Not with fear.
Not with desperation.
But something else.
Something… real.
I didn't like it.
"Who is she?" I asked.
My friend raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"The girl from earlier."
He smirked. "Ava Carter. Quiet. Stays out of trouble."
I nodded slowly.
Ava.
For some reason…
The name stayed in my head longer than it should have.
