Writing the Rules

The chemistry between the characters felt real, even though they were pretending. I'm curious what inspired this approach and how it shaped the emotional payoff.

The gradual shift in their relationship felt natural, but I wonder if that was intentional or if it evolved during writing. Would love to hear the author's thoughts!

The college environment added a fun layer to the story, making the stakes feel relatable. I'm interested in what motivated the author to choose this setting.
