Conor Kavanagh has always had a quiet soul and a louder heart, especially when it comes to Serena Dempsey. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he saw nothing but light. Grace. Perfection. An angel walking the halls of BCS.
But angels don't fall for boys like Conor.
She was Mallory's best friend, his cousin's other half. She was older, untouchable, off limits.
Serena Dempsey was far too tied up in her own world to ever notice her best friend's annoying cousin and the way he watches her like she hung the stars.
Conor has loved her from afar for years, content to exist in her orbit, no matter how much it tears him up inside.
But little did Conor know, Serena wanted him too.
She saw him, even when he thought she didn't. In the quiet moments, in the way he laughed with her friends, like he belonged, in the way his gaze always lingered a second too long. Serena noticed. She felt it. That pull. That ache. That impossible, inconvenient want that had no business existing between them.
She told herself it was just a crush. Harmless. Fleeting. But it wasn't. It was him.
And no matter how many times she tried to bury it. It always came back to Conor.
Because maybe angels do fall.
And maybe, just maybe, this time, they fall for the boy who's been loving them all along.
