Benisse repeats one thing to herself whenever Austen Lao comes into view: you can't confuse like with love. What began as a casual fling (an intimate friendship) slowly bled into something more. The new sweet note of her heartbeat forces her to pull the plug on the non-relationship.
Denial becomes her armor, distance her defense, and hating him a last act of self-preservation.
She can't confuse like with love. Austen has been abundantly clear about his certainty. There's no way the football prodigy could ever feel the same way...
Not when his eyes still follow her best friend.
Caught between the lies they tell, Benisse and Austen discover the magic of birthday candles and the dirty truth about wishing on stars. Feelings only stay buried for long enough until they're ready to explode.
