A sculptor who works with his hands and his whole body, he feels everything too fast and too loud, and the forest seems to answer him when he does. He needs structure more than he admits, and Maya can feel how carefully he holds himself back around her.Noah Kim notices everything. Pre-law. Precise. Human in a town that quietly isn't. He understands the rules of triads on paper, but not how it feels to stand between a man who burns and a woman who doesn't belong to either of them yet.The work begins under the pines, in a studio that smells like wood and clay and restraint.
