The hermit Ryder Quin never thought that one day, her crush of three years now, the very handsome Aiden Caley, would suddenly want to be her friend. What's more, a stranger broke into her backyard one night, his face hidden underneath a hood, and ever since then he would show up at night and leave before midnight.

The quite and uninteresting life of hers, unexpectedly was thrown into chaos.

Having an introverted personality, Ryder struggles to 
keep up with the very energetic Aiden. However, because of the lack of her social skills, all of Aiden's flirty remarks and hints miss the mark, leading to Ryder accidentally friendzoning her crush, all while trying to figure out who the stranger that meets her every night is.

With the mystery of the stranger's identity and the awkward moments spent with Aiden pickling her mind and heart, Ryder realizes that she has been dragged into a whirl of feelings she has never experienced before.

The cheeks of Ryder turned red, yet she answered with a blank expression as if that accusation didn’t have anything to do with her. /"That isn’t related to this at all./"

How was that bullying! I clearly did that because I love you! Hmph! And because I love it when you blush…. Or when you get provoked and…. The already red face now matched the paint on her cheeks. Ryder felt the need to clear her throat as her thoughts were going astray.
