When a star athlete's well-meaning teammates discover their roommate crush is single, they decide to play matchmaker—complete with hilariously specific dating advice that leaves him flustered and overthinking every interaction. Desperate to get closer to Blakely, he agrees to be her fake date for a wedding, one magical night where he finally gets to hold her and dance with her like she's his whole world. But as the evening ends, he faces an impossible choice: risk everything by showing her how he really feels, or let her walk away believing he was never her type. Full of laugh-out-loud moments and serious chemistry, this one-bed rom-com proves that sometimes the guy who seems too quiet is hiding the loudest heart.
