Zac and Fatima have been inseparable for years-best friends, the kind of duo people always assume are together. But they're not. In their tight-knit friend group of six, everyone else is cuffed, leaving Zac and Fatima as the last two standing. Everyone sees the feelings between them-everyone except them.
Well... maybe not except. Zac feels it every time she laughs at his dumb jokes. Fatima feels it when he remembers the smallest things about her. But neither of them says a word. Because if they admit the truth, they might ruin the best friendship they've ever had.
Hoping to give them the final push, their coupled-up friends plan a group trip to a remote, romantic island. The hope? That the magic of sun-soaked days and starlit nights will finally crack open what Zac and Fatima have been burying for years.
But it's not that simple.
The island brings them closer-sharing rooms, private moments, lingering silences-but the fear is always louder. What if saying "I love you" means losing everything? The angsty tension builds like a storm on the horizon, both of them aching for more but too afraid to reach for it.
In the end, love didn't ruin them. It revealed what was always there.
It was always us.
