Morgane Di Laurentis has always preferred pencil strokes over the looks people give her because of her last name. At Briar University, she isn't just Dean Di Laurentis's little sister. She's an aspiring artist, a girl who dreams of making a living from her drawings, of filling sketchbooks until one of them finally becomes her future. But among all the sketches she keeps hidden away, there's one she's never truly managed to erase. Garrett Graham. Her brother's best friend. Her friend too, for long enough that she knows his smiles, his silences, his teasing... And far too well the effect he has on her. Between them, nothing has ever crossed the line. Just arguments thrown with half-smiles. Glances that linger longer than they should. A closeness too soft to mean nothing. And that tension, persistent, impossible to explain, that only seems to grow every time they pretend there's nothing there. Morgane has gotten used to falling for Garrett in silence. Pretending her heart doesn't give her away whenever he gets a little too close. Believing she'll always be able to keep her feelings under control. Until the day being just friends might not be enough anymore... • Cover by @Ellysabellassia • TOP: 🏅drawn (20/05/2026) 🏅draw (30/05/2026) 🏅graham (28/06/2026)
