About the Love Interests:
Bennett Summers
Bennett is a quiet, thoughtful young man. He is thoughtful, passionate, and kind-hearted, but not always sure of himself. Generally he isn’t one to start a conversation, but get him talking about writing and Bennett has more than enough to say. When speaking about his passion (writing), Bennett is more sure of his opinions than on other topics. He’s hesitant with new people but a solid friend who will try to put others before himself. His biggest weakness is trying to please everyone, especially his parents, and rectifying that with the fact that his dream is to be a professional writer of erotic fiction.
Riley LaRue
Riley knows where she wants to go in life and is here to achieve her goals. She’s the life of most parties she walks into and knows how to work a room. Confident, witty, and empathetic, Riley gives off the impression that she knows how to adult and she’s ready to tackle the challenge. Currently working at Brewtiful Coffee to fund her dreams of being a fashion designer, Riley has no doubts that she’ll reach her goals with enough dedication, hard work, and networking. She puts effort into her appearance and her friendships, but that leaves her open to deeply felt treacheries when someone hurts her. Generous with her time and talents, Riley’s biggest weakness is when her personal connections turn sour; she carries that hurt deeply and will brush aside other people’s attempts to help her with it.
Hugo Sterling
Hugo oozes “cool kid” vibes. He’s funny, determined, and outgoing, readily able to joke with strangers and friends alike. Recently, he’s stepped up as the manager of his high school band who are trying to move into the professional realm. He uses his charm and jokes to hide the fact that he has no idea what he’s doing and that terrifies him. His biggest struggle is believing that he’s truly the right person for this job, and feeling like he’s floundering. To those who know him best, Hugo does have a vulnerable side, which he only shows to his closest friends.
