On a quiet rainy evening, Miss Alana Nugent is down the final minutes before closing her ice cream shop, Sweet Scoops. She believes in routine, not romance — and certainly not fate. But when a tall, mysterious stranger walks through her door just before closing time, something shifts. What begins as a simple ice cream order turns into a charged moment neither of them expected. A brush of fingers. A lingering glance. A spark that refuses to be ignored. Sometimes destiny doesn’t knock politely. Sometimes… it walks in thirteen minutes before closing.
