"It's just a kiss right?" "Unless you want it to be more." {Afterglow Book Two}

Same industry, different jobs, opposite sides of the Hudson. The universe has a funny way of making sure you're in the right place. But do you always need to listen to it? Note: This story is not a fluffy fanfic and does follow more of a novel structure. If you want a short simple read, this is not for you.

Sophia Zegras has always been the more shy one out of her friends and her siblings, but things are destined to change when her brother's hockey team starts living in her vacation home with her; hey, maybe she'll even get into her first relationship.
