For the first fourteen years of Arielle Graham's life, everything felt certain.
Perfect grades. A picture-perfect family. The kind of friends everyone envied.
And Luke Goldwyn.
Her best friend since the third grade. The boy who knew all her secrets, who made everything feel lighter, easier... permanent. Somewhere along the way, Arielle stopped imagining a future without him in it-especially one where he wasn't more than just her best friend.
She thought nothing could break her world.
Until it did.
One drunk driver. One accident. One moment that changed everything.
Now, three years later, Arielle keeps everyone at arm's length-including Luke. Quiet halls, empty friendships, and silence have become safer than letting anyone in.
But senior year doesn't care about what she's survived.
And neither does Luke Goldwyn.
Because Luke needs one thing: to pass physics or lose his spot on the team. And the only person who can help him? The girl who used to know him better than anyone.
What starts as reluctant tutoring sessions in the library slowly turns into late-night drives, stolen conversations, and truths neither of them were ready to say out loud.
And suddenly, Arielle is forced to face the one thing she's been running from:
Luke never really left.
Now she just has to decide if she's ready to come back.
