Nicole has loved Beckford for as long as she can remember quietly, carefully, and from a distance she never chose.
He was her brother's best friend. The boy always in their yard. The one who felt off-limits long before he ever left. When Beckford migrated to the UK ten years ago, whatever she felt had no choice but to settle into memory, growing up with her as she did.
Now he's back in Jamaica for the summer, older, steadier, and carrying the weight of time away. Their home no longer feels the same with him in it ; every late-night conversation lingers too long, every shared silence says more than either of them will allow themselves to admit.
With an overprotective brother who sees danger in every man who looks at his sister, and a history neither of them knows how to rewrite, Nicole and Beckford move carefully around the truth ,circling it in soft conversations, half-remembered moments, and feelings that refuse to stay buried.
Set against warm nights, quiet kitchens, and the familiar rhythms of home, this is a story about restrained longing, the ache of what was missed, and the kind of love that grows not in declarations, but in everything left unsaid.
