Summary: A coffee shop AU in which Harry Styles is a young barista working in an old cafe with his friends Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne. His world is turned upside down at the appearance of the attractive English professor from down the street, Zayn Malik. But things aren't as they seem as Zayn rushes off to clandestine meetings with the mysterious man named Niall Horan, and there's sadness deep in his eyes from something he just won't explain. Determined to fix all, Harry folds himself into Zayn's life just to find out that everything he thought he knew about the man, was wrong, and that he's got to find hope even when all bad things seem to happen to the good people Harry cares about.
