Kendrick has never been the man that onlookers routed for. They just watch, judge, and whisper... shouting for his success but praying on his downfall. Now in the spotlight of the NFL, his name carries weight, money and a clingy girlfriend he can't outrun. Macie has spent years learning how to exist in a world that never made her feel soft enough, pretty enough, or chosen first. She's done fighting to fit in with the societies expectations. When the two collide tension is thick and neither of them are ready for it. Kendrick made her feel unwanted and she could never forget the way it affected her. Once lines blur, their loyalty is tested , and they have to figure out if their disloyal actions are worth the chaos it created. This story isn't to repaint Kendrick in the light of redemption, but to give clear insight on why he is the man he is today, and unapologetically.

"And it doesn't matter how much time passed or how much time will pass-it's him. It always has been him and it always will be him...I just don't know how to tell him," When it's more than a like, and they're more than a friend. When they know you better than you know yourself and just the thought of them is all you need to put a smile on your face-telling your best friend you're in love with them should be simple. Right?
