At seventeen, friendships can be as complicated as they are comforting.
Lily has always been quiet, observant, and careful, while Rose is bold, confident, and impossible to ignore. They've been friends for years, but lately, something has shifted-a subtle, quiet tension that Lily can't name.
As Lily navigates her feelings while watching Rose with her boyfriend, she discovers a confusing mix of admiration, protectiveness, and unexpected emotion that she can't fully understand or control. Every laugh, every touch, every shared moment deepens the slow burn growing inside her, making the familiar world feel unfamiliar.
Three Steps Apart is a tender, introspective story about the unspoken complexities of teenage friendship, self-discovery, and the quiet moments that change everything.
