On a quiet fruit farm in the Scottish countryside, Andie Milne-Marchetti has built a life rooted in routine, resilience, and just enough chaos—thanks to her mischievous dog. It's peaceful. Predictable. Safe.Until Docherty Fabre comes home.A brooding, world-weary author with a stubborn case of writer's block, Doc arrives seeking solitude… and finds the one person he's been avoiding. Years ago, one impulsive kiss under an apple tree changed everything—and sent him running. Now, stranded together on the farm as the world outside slows to a standstill, avoidance is no longer an option.Between muddy mornings, shared meals, and long walks through blooming orchards, old feelings resurface—gentler this time, but no less complicated. As Andie and Doc navigate friendship, attraction, and their identities on the asexual spectrum, they're forced to confront what love looks like for them… and whether they're brave enough to build something real.Because this time, running away isn't an option.And maybe—just maybe—neither is letting go.
