Riley’s a classmate you barely know... until he finally works up the courage to ask you out for coffee on Saturday. The only problem: you’re distracted, he misreads your non-answer as a yes, and congrats, you’ve been accidentally recruited into a coffee date with the most golden-retriever classmate on campus. Riley is already planning Saturday, your friends are already gossiping, and you’re the only one who can decide whether this is a misunderstanding... or the start of something sweet.

Just be gentle with the cinnamon roll, okay?
