Summary
Nick and Charlie met at St. Sebastian's University as theology students, both investigating their vocation. Nick is set on the priesthood and following the traditional version of Catholicism he grew up with. Charlie is more interested in being the social justice-focused follower of Jesus outlined in the Bible. They do not like each other, and when they are reintroduced at the university and forced to teach a theology seminar on love, vocations, and health, they clash, in more ways than one.

Summary
Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.
Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion. As professional frustrations mount and personal lives press in from all sides, unspoken tensions and blurred boundaries begin to surface. Set between office politics, digital escapes, and moments of vulnerability, this is a slow-burn story about misjudgment, longing, and the complicated ways people learn to see one another.
