Miles was used by his roommate Nolan as a pawn—chasing Blake for two months, delivering breakfast, showing up at practice, all while Nolan secretly dated Blake online. When the truth came out, Nolan even smirked: “If you're really upset, I can give him to you.”
Miles chose to burn it all down. At the dinner party, he smashed plates and exposed everything—and Adrian, the star swimmer of the law school, stepped in front of him. Adrian had noticed Miles long before anyone else: the guy who brought drinks to the whole team, who knelt to put bandages on injured players. He pursued Miles with his gold medal, with “coincidental” encounters, with quiet library study sessions—showing him, again and again, that he was never a backup. He was the one worth choosing.
From being humiliated to being cherished, from chasing for someone else to being pursued for himself—Miles finally waits for his own flower to bloom.
