We lost a lot of things in the fire. or In which they turn something beautiful into the most complicated thing of all.

Bella Hines lives for basketball. Early mornings in the gym, late nights icing sore muscles, and a future built on discipline, that's all she's ever needed. Emery Carson lives in the spotlight. An LSU cheerleader with a perfect smile and a boyfriend on the basketball team who looks good to everyone except her. When they're paired as lab partners in a required science class, neither expects it to matter. Bella has practices, games, and pressure. Emery has appearances, expectations, and a relationship she's starting to outgrow. But shared lab tables turn into late-night study sessions, and friendship comes easier than it should. They grow close. Too close. They insist it's nothing, just partners in class, just friends outside of it. But chemistry builds both on the court and in the lab, and pretending becomes harder with every passing game, every lingering look, every almost-confession. Because some connections can't be contained. Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/rightwheresheleftme/thinking-of-you-bella-hines/
