At 10 p.m., Jana teaches Python to dreamers and insomniacs. Evan, a quiet mechanic with a soldier’s stillness, sits in the back and asks questions like a dare to be honest.
Then the grant letter drops—her night program’s new sponsor is his LLC. A power knot, a choice. They write rules the way they write code: readable, tested, consent-first.
When trolls, cameras, and eager donors try to turn their faces into collateral, they choose privacy over spectacle. Doors click; rumors don’t.
Midnight becomes their hour—lists and aftercare, careful kisses and greener fire. Every yes is asked for. Every boundary is kept.
To keep each other, they must protect a fragile good: a city’s classrooms, a hinge that finally behaves, and a love that only compiles when both of them refuse to be a headline.
