Part 2/6:
After a particularly unpleasant date with Chadwick, Noah's luck appears to turn when she meets Steve at a supermarket. Their shared love for cotton candy grapes ignites an immediate chemistry, and, amidst her desperation, Noah gives Steve her number.
The next day, Steve calls, and without hesitation, Noah agrees to meet him for dinner, crossing her fingers that this might be the beginning of something wonderful. Their first date reveals their shared backgrounds as new orphans navigating life alone—common ground that deepens Noah's attraction to him.
Eventually, things heat up, and they share a romantic night, leaving Noah feeling more alive than she has in years.
