The Risk of Falling GLMM
Project Overview
Riley Quinn is the quiet, sharp-tongued new girl with a mysterious past. She keeps to herself, trusts no one, and has a permanent "do not disturb" sign written all over her. She's used to being invisible—or intimidating enough to be left alone. And she likes it that way.
Enter Jace Ryder, the school’s effortlessly charming heartbreaker. Confident, witty, and infuriatingly persistent, he’s used to people falling for him. But when Riley rolls her eyes instead of blushing, Jace’s curiosity turns into obsession.
What starts as a game—a challenge to make the unreadable girl crack—becomes something deeper as Jace starts to see the pain behind Riley’s distance. Meanwhile, Riley starts to suspect that maybe Jace’s confidence is a cover too... and that he’s hiding more than he lets on.
They keep pushing each other’s buttons, testing boundaries—but underneath it all, there’s vulnerability neither expected. Slowly, Riley lowers her guard. And just as she starts to believe someone might actually stay... Jace is forced to confront the one thing he’s always run from: real feelings.
