You and Ellis Anderson were never supposed to be anything more than friends. But when summer arrives, something between you begins to change. Innocent teasing turns into nonstop flirting, lingering looks become harder to ignore, and somehow, Ellis always finds a reason to be close to you.
Neither of you is willing to admit what's happening, afraid that crossing the line could ruin the friendship you already have. But with every late-night conversation, accidental touch, and moment that lasts a little too long, pretending becomes harder.
And one summer night, when a crowded room leaves you closer than either of you expected, Ellis makes the first move-and suddenly, the line between friendship and something more begins to disappear.
Maybe you were never just friends after all.
