"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐚𝐢𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝?" Every summer looked the same, the same house in Catalonia, the same faces, the same calm that came with the sound of the sea and the beautiful sunsets. Héctor had always been a part of this world, someone who had been there from the very beginning, who knew her better than anyone and whom she considered her first love. This summer, Pau appears, his friend, whose heart she shouldn't touch, because Héctor's friends had always been a line she was never supposed to cross. Every glance, every gesture makes the boundaries that once seemed obvious begin to blur. What was supposed to be just friendship becomes something stronger, unexpected, beating with every heartbeat, ready to break all the rules. Because sometimes the heart doesn't ask for permission and doesn't listen to reason, and that's when something starts that can no longer be stopped.

Pau and Sofia have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They've shared laughter, secrets, and endless adventures together. But now, something has shifted between them. As their bond deepens, they begin to realize that their feelings might be more than just friendship. Torn between the fear of ruining what they have and the undeniable pull towards each other, both are left wondering if taking a risk is worth the chance of losing everything.
