Chase Lovett Wants Me (Tilton University)

“I want to be the reason she smiles.”

Chase is so messy and loud because he feels invisible at home. It makes his obsession with Piper feel like he finally found a place to belong.

“I’m tired of being the good girl.”

Piper tries so hard to be the perfect, quiet student to avoid her family drama. Seeing her finally lose her cool and scream was such a relief.

The way Chase remembers every tiny detail about Piper is sweet but also a little heartbreaking. He is just starving for a real connection.

“Everyone in this town thinks they know me.”

Living in a small town means your mistakes follow you forever. Piper carries her family reputation like a heavy weight every single day.
