**smut heavy**
They were never officially anything, just two teenagers caught between friendship and almost-love until life pulled them apart.
Years later, Charlie sees Nick again: older, softer, heartbreakingly beautiful.
What starts as a friendly reunion quickly becomes late-night talks, stolen kisses, and feelings Charlie's tried to forget.
But Nick is still healing from a toxic breakup... and Charlie is tired of being someone's "almost."
