The Way You Looked at Me

Nineteen-year-old Michelle is leaving behind the comfort of her small hometown to start fresh at university. Nervous but hopeful, she arrives at her dorm with no idea what lies ahead—until a simple glance from a stranger across the hall changes everything.



Steve, a twenty-year-old sophomore with an easy smile and messy hair, wasn’t looking for anything serious. But when he and Michelle collide—literally—in the dorm kitchen, something clicks. A tea shared on a bench becomes a late-night conversation. A quiet walk across campus turns into a heartbeat-skipping moment.



As their connection deepens, so do the questions: Can something so unexpected be real? What happens when the magic of the first weeks fades into routine—or reality?



Set in the cozy, chaotic world of university life, The Way You Looked at Me is a tender coming-of-age romance about timing, vulnerability, and the way love sometimes finds you exactly where you weren’t looking.
