Community college student Gioia McCauley has always stuck out. She's into obscure music and nostalgia, has autism, dresses straight out of the twentieth-century (a different decade depending on how she feels at that moment), and speaks proper. She's also very down-to-Earth, inquisitive, and is staying pure until marriage, alongside putting other morals first. She'd lose friends after thinking they cared, endure toxic relationships with hypersexual bipolar guys, and be ignored. Plus, her family was strict and babying despite her overwhelming inquisitiveness. As results, Gioia became convinced that not everyone was meant to live and questioned if she was in the right for being as different as she was. A virgin Psychology major with a practically completely nonexistent social life, Gioia also made up for a lifelong dream of making the Madrigal choir group! There, she sang her favorite chants, performed at events, and even scored a solo! She also met Anuschka, a spiritual empath who came from a kind family. However, that wasn't when Gioia really lucked out with her other half. Moreover, the one that got away... Since the fall, she'd notice a goofy-looking orchestra kid, Quincy Whistleater; a tall drink of water with a heavy dosage of U.K. blood and a loud style. They saw each other at every concert and oddly reacted; Gioia rolling her eyes and giggling crazily, and Quincy going weak and excessively sweating from his blush's heat. He was madly in-love... As college came closer to an end, they unexpectedly met and melted into one glowing spirit, possessing similarities, gentleness, and an understanding of each other's eccentricities. From their love of Max Fleischer-cartoons to their vintage adornment, lifelong emptiness, and family feuds, they became best friends and a heavenly match! But soon after their bond's incense permeated, time tested their faith all thanks to their critical, brawling families.
