One day in New York, two sharply different outlooks

Set over a single day in New York City, the novel brings together Natasha, who trusts science and facts, and Daniel, a poet and dreamer shaped by his parents’ expectations. Their meeting unfolds against an urgent family crisis: Natasha’s family faces deportation to Jamaica within hours. The story places questions of fate and choice alongside romance, immigration, family pressure, and the uncertain futures suggested by its alternating perspectives, including the Universe’s own voice. That combination gives the central relationship a wider frame, connecting a chance encounter with the forces—personal and circumstantial—that shape what comes next.

Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story.

Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store--for both of us.

The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?
