~~~~~~~~~~~
Adalyn Diaz thought she had left the past behind.
Senior year was supposed to be simple-college applications, student council duties, and keeping up with her best friend's antics. But avoiding Xander Hawthorne, her ex-childhood best friend, is proving impossible now that their younger sisters are inseparable.
Forced into each other's orbit weekend after weekend, Adalyn is confronted with the boy she once knew-the one who vanished from her life years ago. At first, it's just awkward silences and sidelong glances. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the unspoken regrets, the lingering tension, and the feeling that maybe their story isn't finished yet.
Xander is carrying secrets, and Adalyn is determined to uncover the truth. But the closer she gets, the more she wonders-was their friendship ever just that? Or has she been avoiding something much deeper all along?
