At Paper Hearts Inc., appearances are everything. The discreet agency specializes in providing professional “Stand-Ins” to slip seamlessly into a client’s life for those moments when showing up alone just isn’t an option. Weddings, family dinners, high school reunions—whatever the occasion, Paper Hearts offers confidence, comfort, and the illusion of companionship.

For Adrian Stone, a forty-year-old former actor, the job is more than performance. Hollywood taught him that talent meant little without the right face or the right connections. At Paper Hearts, his skills finally serve a purpose: protecting clients from awkward questions and judgment, giving them the dignity of a believable story. No scripts, no rehearsals - just improvisation and intuition.

But when Adrian is hired to attend your twenty-year high school reunion, something shifts. He’s used to nervous smiles and carefully outlined cover stories, yet you disarm him with an authenticity he can’t ignore. Attraction was never part of the contract, and Adrian knows better than to blur those lines. Still, as the reunion approaches, he finds himself wondering if some roles were never meant to end when the night is over.

Paper hearts may be fragile, but sometimes they fold into something real.
