Summary
Buffy Summers, 26, arrives in London alone after leaving behind a relationship and a life that no longer feels like her own. She plans for a short escape—museums, cafés, long walks through unfamiliar streets—anything to help her start over.
Rupert Giles, 41, is a quiet, deliberate man working at the British Museum who has built his life around routine, distance, and the careful management of old grief. He doesn’t expect disruption, especially not in the form of a stranger who sits in his usual café seat and refuses to move.
What begins as a tense, accidental meeting becomes something harder to define as they keep crossing paths across the city—bookshops, riverside walks, rainy afternoons, and stolen conversations that feel more honest than either of them intended.
In a city built on history and chance encounters, Buffy and Giles slowly discover that some connections don’t ask permission to change everything.
